Enact the School Bus Safety Act

HB 518, titled the School Bus Safety Act, primarily establishes a civil penalty system to fine drivers who illegally pass a stopped school bus but cannot be identified. The bill also designates October as "School Bus Safety Awareness Month" to promote public education on stopping for school buses. While the text includes extensive provisions regarding motor vehicle registration procedures, the core purpose of this specific legislation is to enhance safety around school buses through enforcement and awareness.
