Enact the School Bus Safety Act

Added new sections (4511.752 through 4511.757) to establish a civil penalty system for school bus violations, allowing fines up to $2,000 for repeat offenders, whereas the House version only included criminal fines.

Added new safety features to the list of eligible items for the school bus safety fund, including collision avoidance systems, silent panic alert technology, and broadband push-to-talk capabilities.

Modified penalties for passing a stopped school bus to include higher fines ($350-$2,000) and stricter license suspensions (Class 5) for repeat offenders within five years.

Added requirements for owners of snowmobiles, off-highway motorcycles, and all-purpose vehicles to file registration applications, expanding the scope of vehicles covered by the registration chapter.

Added new definitions for 'registered owner' and clarified the definition of 'school bus' to explicitly exclude vans operated by head start agencies.

Added new sections (4503.10, 4503.102, 4503.12) detailing registration renewal procedures, electronic renewal options, and transfer rules for motor vehicles.
