Substitute Senate Bill No. 508, also known as Public Act No. 26-95, amends the existing laws regarding the suspension of motor vehicle operator's licenses for individuals who repeatedly fail to stop for school buses. The bill introduces new provisions that specify the suspension periods for various violations. Notably, it establishes that for a third and any subsequent violation of subsection (a) of section 14-279, the operator's license will be suspended for a period of six months. Additionally, it clarifies that the commissioner shall suspend the operator's license of any youth adjudged a youthful offender for specific violations, with a suspension period of six months for a first offense and one year for subsequent offenses.

The bill also repeals and replaces subsection (b) of section 14-111, which outlines the penalties for various traffic violations. The new language includes specific suspension durations for first and subsequent offenses across different sections, such as a minimum of one year for a first violation of certain sections and two years for subsequent violations. The changes aim to enhance road safety, particularly concerning the protection of children around school buses, by imposing stricter penalties for repeated offenses.
