Representative Rose, prime sponsor, explained House Bill 05-1321 concerning the enforcement of prohibiting drivers from overtaking a school bus receiving or discharging passengers. A bus driver who is reporting such a violation would not be required to provide information that the bus driver has not observed. He responded to committee questions concerning whether this was a duplication of current law. Rep. Rose stated that this a technical change that will help with the enforcement of current law.
