This bill mandates that school districts and school bus operators establish school bus stops in a way that prevents students from having to cross traffic lanes when boarding or exiting the bus. Specifically, it introduces a new section, RSA 265:57-a, which stipulates that each school district and bus operator must ensure that bus stops are positioned to avoid any need for students to cross traffic. Additionally, bus drivers are prohibited from allowing children to cross any lane of traffic during boarding or departing activities.

The bill also includes an effective date, stating that the new regulations will take effect 60 days after its passage. This legislative change aims to enhance the safety of students during school bus operations by eliminating the risks associated with crossing traffic.
