Senate Bill No. 508 aims to enhance penalties for individuals who repeatedly fail to stop for a school bus. The bill mandates that the motor vehicles commissioner suspend the driver's license or operating privilege of any person who has been convicted, forfeited a bond, or received a suspended judgment for a third or subsequent violation of the law regarding stopping for school buses. Specifically, the suspension will last for six months, and this action will be taken without a hearing. The bill also clarifies that it does not apply to violations of municipal ordinances related to this law.

In terms of legal changes, the bill repeals subsection (b) of section 14-111 and substitutes it with new language that includes the insertion of penalties for a third and subsequent violation of the school bus stopping law. The new language specifies that for a third violation, the suspension period will be six months. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2026, and is expected to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as the Department of Motor Vehicles can incorporate these changes into their current operations.
