FOR RELEASE: MARCH 30, 2005 CONTACT: BONNIE TURNER (585) 334-5210   ERRIGO REMINDS MOTORISTS OF REVISED CAR SEAT LAW        Assemblyman Joseph Errigo (R,C-Conesus) reminded constituents today of a new car seat law that took effect March 27.      "People need to be aware of this new law," Errigo said, "which will increase child safety when riding in automobiles."      According to Errigo, all rear-seat passengers under 7 years of age must be placed in appropriate child-restraint systems. Children older than 4 and who are more than 4 feet 9 inches tall may be restrained by safety belts.      Errigo noted that violators are subject to fines ranging from $25 to $100. Judges are allowed to waive fines if parents or guardians provide proof that they purchased a proper child- restraint system after the violations occurred.      Questions or concerns about the new seat belt law may be forwarded to Errigo's office by calling (585) 334-5210. -30-
