Bill Summary
An Act Regarding the Rates of Speed at Which School Buses Travel
AI Summary
This bill modifies the speed limits for school buses in different types of districts and on various public ways in Maine. Specifically, the bill maintains the existing 25 miles per hour speed limit in business, residential, or built-up districts, and keeps the 45 miles per hour speed limit on other public ways. The bill repeals a previous paragraph (paragraph E) related to speed limits, which suggests a simplification of the existing speed regulation for school buses. The changes are being made to Title 29-A of the Maine Revised Statutes Annotated (MRSA), which governs motor vehicle regulations. The technical language indicates that this is an amendment to existing law, and the changes appear to streamline the speed limit regulations for school buses by removing what was likely a more complex or redundant provision about speed limits.
