North Dakota bill would change school bus passing fee
The fee for overtaking and passing a schoolbus.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would change how much people pay if they illegally pass a school bus, making roads safer for kids.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would have changed the fine for illegally passing a school bus. While it was withdrawn, if a similar bill comes up again, it would aim to make roads safer for children by making the penalty for dangerous driving around school buses different. People who drive safely would not be affected, but those who put kids at risk could face a changed fee.
