Bill > HB1209

This bill requires school districts and school bus operators to modify school bus stop locations to prevent students from having to cross traffic lanes when boarding or exiting buses. Specifically, the legislation mandates that bus stops must be positioned so that children can enter and exit the bus without crossing any lane of traffic, and bus drivers are explicitly prohibited from allowing children to cross traffic lanes during boarding or departing activities. The bill will amend the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 265 by adding a new section that establishes these safety requirements, and the law will take effect 60 days after its passage. The goal of this legislation is to enhance child safety by reducing the risk of students being struck by vehicles while transitioning to and from school buses.
