An Act relative to school bus stop safety

This bill prohibits registered level 2 and level 3 sex offenders from loitering within 500 feet of designated school bus stops in Massachusetts. The law defines loitering as staying in the restricted area for more than 15 minutes, with an exception allowing parents or legal guardians to remain longer until their child arrives or departs. Violators face escalating penalties, including fines and potential jail time, with each offense requiring notification to the sex offender registry board.
