I move that Senate Bill 218 be amended to read as follows:
SOURCE: Page 1, line 8; (05)MO021813.1. -->
Page 1, line 8, delete "person;" and insert " person who is at least
sixteen (16) years of age;".
Page 2, after line 7, begin a new paragraph and insert:
" (e) Damages described in subsection (b) may not be reduced
by more than five percent (5%) for failing to comply with section
2 of this chapter.
(f) If evidence that a plaintiff did not comply with section 2 of
this chapter is admitted in a civil action, the court shall also admit
any evidence suggesting that either party was impaired preceding
the collision.
(g) If evidence that a plaintiff did not comply with section 2 of
this chapter is admitted in a civil action, a defendant may not
prevent the facts surrounding the occurrence of the collision from
being presented to the jury by admitting liability for the collision.".
