Have there been any changes to GA seatbelt laws in pick-up trucks?

Question

My grandfather has been asking me to figure this out for a while now, but I can't find anything online.

Any links would definitely help.

Answer 1

Yea... you have to use them.

Answer 2

Hard to believe, but Georgia remains the only state in the union not to require seat belt usage of either the driver or passenger of a pickup truck.

Oh, Georgia legislators have been trying for years to get a law passed, but due to some rural legislators, who have resisted, no seat belt law is in place.

The reason? Wearing a seat belt is an inconvenience for farmers and farm workers, who frequently hop in and out of their pickups as they tend the fields, and that there is too little traffic on Georgia's back country farm roads to worry about the risk of a collision with another vehicle.
