Bill > S1622

This bill, known as the "Cameron Mayhew Act," introduces several key provisions related to school bus safety in Florida. It amends existing laws to impose mandatory noncriminal penalties, including community service hours and participation in a victim impact panel or driver improvement course, for drivers whose violations result in serious bodily injury or death of another person. The bill also increases the monetary penalty and driver's license suspension period for violations that cause serious bodily injury or death. Additionally, it modifies the point system for evaluating traffic violations, assigning higher points for passing a stopped school bus and causing injury or death as a result. The bill aims to enhance accountability and promote safer driving behavior around school buses.
