Chamber Passed·9/10/25

Pennsylvania SB65 amends vehicle laws to enhance school bus safety and driver penalties.

Pennsylvania SB65 amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to strengthen rules around school bus safety and driver penalties. It mandates that drivers must stop their vehicles until the flashing red lights on a school bus are no longer active and children are safely off the bus. Violators face fines and potential attendance at a driver improvement school. The bill also updates the point system for driver convictions and points, assigning specific point values to various traffic offenses. This act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
