A bill to keep drivers from illegally passing school busses when children are getting on and off of them is making the rounds again this legislative session.

State Representative David Hale, a Republican from Wellington, says some school districts are already taking matters into their own hands by buying and installing cameras for their busses.

His House bill 461, allows school districts to install cameras on their bus stop, arms to catch hurry drivers who don't give kids a break.

The first penalty if you were convicted of passing a bus and the camera showed that happening, the penalty would be $500 on the first offense.

From there it would be $1,000 on each subsequent offense.

That would follow.

No points would be assessed to your driver's license and all the recordings would be destroyed within 31 days of the recording happening.

Visible signage on the bus would inform motorists of recordings of violations.

The measure that would impose fines for illegally passing a stopped school bus when kids are loading and unloading on it cleared a legislative panel this afternoon and is now headed to the full House docket.
