An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in rules of the road in general, providing for obedience to school crossing guards; and imposing penalties.

HB 1587 requires drivers to obey school crossing guards' signals at school zones, mandating they stop within 10-30 feet of the guard or crosswalk and remain stopped until the guard signals to proceed. It directly affects drivers near schools during children’s arrival/departure times, with violations punishable by a $250 fine plus a $35 surcharge. The surcharge funds Pennsylvania’s School Bus Safety Grant Program, which supports safety initiatives. The law takes effect 180 days after enactment and defines "school crossing guard" as an appointed person managing traffic during school hours.
