When did the seat belt law go into effect in California?

Is there a site that tells when seat belt laws went into effect in each state? Or can you tell me when California's seat belt law began? I found out this morning that all states except NH have laws regarding seat belts, but I was also wondering how long we've had to buckle up here.

I remember not having to wear them at all when I was a kid. I think I also remember that when the laws first started only those in the front had to wear one...I think.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help.

Hmm, I know it's been in effect way longer than a year and a half ago. I'm thinking it started sometime when I was a teenager back in the 80's, but I'm not sure.

Also, I don't really want to contact the CHP because this is just a random question.

Is there a site that says when certain laws went into effect for each state?
