Bill > HB1308

This bill increases penalties for illegally passing a stopped school bus, making it a class B misdemeanor for a first offense with a $300 fine and a 7-day license suspension, and a class A misdemeanor for subsequent offenses with higher fines and mandatory license revocation periods, including a minimum of 15 consecutive days in jail for a third or subsequent offense. It also allows camera footage from school buses to be used as evidence to identify the vehicle owner or operator, and requires that this footage be made available upon request. The bill also mandates that the director of the motor vehicle division suspend the person's license to drive or nonresident driving privilege for a period of 7 days for the first offense.
