Update on School Bus Passing Laws
In recent months, the topic of illegal passing of stopped school buses has dominated the news and the industry.

In the case of the Ohio accident, the student was lucky to escape with minor injuries. However, in the case of the Minnesota accident, the child remains in critical care in the hospital.

This article will review the different state statutes in place and the range of penalties relating to illegal passing, along with recent efforts to address this critical issue.
