The Minnesota Department of Public Safety (will coordinate the enhanced enforcement patrols among more than 400 agencies during May 19–June 1. A similar enforcement effort in May 2007 resulted in nearly 8,500 seat belt citations. A seat belt citation is $25 but can cost as much as $115 with administrative fees.
