Bill > HB1195

This bill proposes to increase the fee for violating school bus traffic safety laws from $100 to $500. Specifically, the bill amends a section of the North Dakota Century Code that deals with traffic violations related to sections 39-10-46 and 39-10-46.1, which likely pertain to rules about overtaking and passing a school bus. By quadrupling the existing fine, the legislation aims to create a stronger financial deterrent for drivers who illegally pass stopped school buses, which is a serious safety concern that could put children at risk when they are boarding or exiting a school bus. The increased fee underscores the importance of protecting students and encouraging drivers to exercise extreme caution around school transportation.
