TWO NEW TRAFFIC SAFETY LAWS TAKE EFFECT JANUARY 1ST

Two important pieces of legislation supported by Secretary of State Jesse White will take effect as new laws January 1 and include measures to improve school bus safety and increase safety belt usage. One of the new laws allows a school bus company, with a reasonable suspicion their school bus driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, to require the driver to submit to alcohol and drug testing before driving a school bus.  The Secretary of State’s office will suspend the school bus driver permit for three years, of a driver who refuses to submit to a test or fails to obtain a zero tolerance for the presence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating compounds. The other new law requires backseat passengers to use safety belts.  Prior to this change, only front seat passengers were required to where a safety belt.
