AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance school bus safety by requiring school buses to be equipped with functioning panic buttons that allow operators to discreetly contact emergency services in an emergency situation. It also mandates that school bus operators, in collaboration with school districts and public safety officials, develop critical incident response protocols for incidents such as active shooters and other emergencies that may occur during student transit. These protocols must be reviewed with students on an annual basis. Additionally, the bill amends existing law to include these basic emergency response protocols as part of the required training for school bus operators.
