Testimony from the bus driver or other witnesses can be used to prove the violation, unless rebutted. The fines for the offenses are increased, with the director having the authority to suspend the person's license for specified periods. The bill also makes provisions for subsequent offenses, including increased fines and the possibility of license revocation. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2027.
