AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Cameron Mayhew Act", introduces several key provisions related to school bus safety in Florida. First, it requires individuals who commit a violation of the law that results in serious bodily injury or death of another person to serve 120 community service hours in a trauma center or hospital and participate in a victim's impact panel session or a driver improvement course. Additionally, the bill imposes a $1,500 penalty for such violations and requires the suspension of the driver's license for at least 1 year. Finally, the bill increases the number of points assigned to a driver's license for passing a stopped school bus if the violation results in serious bodily injury or death of another person. The bill aims to enhance the consequences for reckless driving around school buses and protect vulnerable road users.
