New Bill Aims to Protect School Buses From Reckless Drivers
In an effort to make buses safer for kids, lawmakers are considering a bill to increase fines for school bus-related violations.
Representative Genevieve McDonald has proposed in her bill a $500 fine for the first offense and leaving a 30-day license suspension up to the judge, according to WGME. A second offense would carry a fine of at least $1,000 and license suspension.
