Natalie's Bill - 2011 Massachusetts Primary Seat Belt Bill

Natalie De Leon was a vibrant 21 year-old woman. On July 2nd, 2006, she was sitting on her porch watching fireworks with her boyfriend and her mother, when a friend called. On their way to visit, her boyfriend was forced to swerve and their car rolled over. They were not speeding or using alcohol, but Natalie, who was not buckled in, was ejected from the car and was killed.
