SB 1046 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in rules of the road in general, further providing for automated enforcement of failure to stop for school bus with flashing red lights.

SB 1046 amends Pennsylvania's vehicle code to add automated enforcement for drivers who fail to stop when a school bus has flashing red lights. The bill directly affects drivers passing school buses in operation, aiming to improve child safety during loading and unloading. Key provisions establish a system using technology (like cameras) to automatically detect and issue citations for violations, supplementing current manual enforcement. This creates a concrete policy change to strengthen enforcement of existing school bus stop laws without altering the underlying requirement for drivers to stop.
