Big Snow Storm Coming: Hearing On Bill On Seat Belts on School Buses Is Postponed; Now Set For Feb. 17

Weather forecasts have prompted the legislature’s transportation committee to reschedule its Wednesday public hearing.

Meteorologists are expecting a snow storm to hit Connecticut.

On Wednesday, members of the transportation committee were expecting to hear testimony regarding a bill that would require seat belts to be installed on school buses. Committee Chairman Rep. Antonio Guerrera, D-Rocky Hill, submitted the proposal after a Rocky Hill teenager, Vikas Parikh, died as a result of a January bus crash on I-84.   

The hearing has been rescheduled for Feb. 17. The time and the location has not been announced.
