Bill Calls For Stiffer Penalties For School Bus Law Violators

(ONN) – Higher penalties and potential criminal charges could be on the table for violators passing a stopped school bus.

$300 is the civil penalty drivers caught passing a stopped bus with its lights flashing could get under Ohio Senate Bill 329 if it’s passed

Of that money, $50 would go to a statewide school bus safety fund.

The rest would go to the district operating the school bus that caught the violation.
