New York Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara has introduced the School Bus Safety Protection Act to enhance penalties for motorists who illegally pass stopped school buses. The proposal aims to increase fines from $400 to $1,000 per offense and could lead to license suspension, up to six months in jail, and mandatory community service.
