Which statement describes secondary enforcement for seat belt laws?

The correct response highlights that, under secondary enforcement for seat belt laws, law enforcement officers must have an additional reason to initiate a traffic stop before they can issue a ticket specifically for not wearing a seat belt. This practice implies that while officers can enforce seat belt laws, their ability to do so is contingent upon observing another violation or infraction.

In many jurisdictions, primary enforcement allows officers to stop and ticket a driver solely for a seat belt violation, without needing to observe another infraction. Secondary enforcement serves to limit the situations in which a seat belt violation can be penalized, often resulting in fewer tickets issued for such infractions compared to jurisdictions with primary enforcement laws.
