The bill introduces a new section, §16-27-9, to the Code of Alabama 1975, which mandates that local superintendents of education, or their designees, serve as the primary liaison between local law enforcement and school districts regarding incidents and complaints related to school bus safety. This includes addressing violations such as trespassing on a school bus and overtaking a school bus. The superintendent or designee is tasked with receiving and documenting complaints, interviewing witnesses, gathering evidence, completing necessary paperwork, and pursuing legal action against individuals who violate school bus safety laws.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that while the superintendent or designee is responsible for these actions, it does not prevent bus drivers from voluntarily filing charges against individuals for violations related to school bus safety. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text of the bill.
