MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A bill in the state legislature would increase the penalties for drivers who don’t stop for a school bus.
The bill would bump up the minimum fine for drivers who fail to stop when a bus is flashing its red warning lights from $30 to $300.
The maximum fine would climb from $300 to $1,000.
The proposal is being introduced by Representatives William Penterman of Columbus and Scott Johnson of Jefferson, as well as State Senator Jesse James of Altoona.
It’ll be circulated for co-sponsors through Friday.
