Amiya Braxton; revise penalties when driver injures child who is exiting a school bus.

HB 540 revises Mississippi law to increase penalties for drivers who injure children exiting school buses. It amends Section 63-3-615 (school bus stop requirements) and Section 97-3-7 (assault penalties), designating the new provisions as the "Amiya Braxton Amendment." The bill makes it a felony (aggravated assault) when a driver violates the school bus stop law and causes injury to a child boarding or exiting a bus, raising penalties to 5-20 years in prison versus previous misdemeanor penalties. This directly affects drivers who fail to stop for school buses and cause injury to children during boarding or exiting.
