Plain-English Summary

This bill requires all school buses, including those from model year 2020 or older, to have a crossing arm. It also mandates that school bus operators use the crossing arm when picking up or dropping off passengers. Failing to activate the crossing arm would be a Class E crime, resulting in the revocation of the operator's school bus endorsement for at least two years.
