Bill summary

Senate committee substitute makes the following changes to the 2nd edition.

Amends proposedĀ GS 153A-246 concerning enforcement on the prohibition of passing a stopped school bus, adding new provisions which provide that a person identified by affidavit as being in the custody, control, or care of a vehicle at the time of the violation will be issued a citation and notified of the procedures for challenging the citation. Provides for a late penalty of $100 for late payment or nonpayment, which also results in waiving the right to contest the citation. Adds additional language that prohibits a county from imposing a civil penalty against a person charged pursuant to GS 20-217 in a criminal pleading from the same facts.

Deletes proposed GS 20-217(i), which provides that drivers/owners can be subject to a civil penalty pursuant to an ordinance adopted under GS 153A-246.
