Reading from two articles in Des Moines Register...8 Strategies for managing COVID-19 mental health...and "It was a quiet death."
info_outlineOur most precious cargo, Children!
Almost every year, a number of school bus related topics are discussed at the legislative session, with some being introduced as bills. Some bills eventually work through the legislative process and become law while others are simply information requests.
As a school bus driver for six years, I remain vigilant to any new legislation that could impact school buses--after all, this is my primary livelihood.
And, as is the trend, nothing got done in the Iowa House. Eleven bills marched up the hill and NONE were adopted, or passed. The one the angered me the most was that someone thought it was a good idea to propose reducing the first time penalty of Kadyn's Law (SF196). The current fine ranges from $250-$675, with a 30-day license suspension and an optional 30 days in jail.
We are finding that this fine is RARELY imposed and NO ONE goes to jail! We have even heard of a recent court ruling where a 17-year-old, who ran an extended RED STOP ARM was warned and then fined ONLY $100.
