As Senate Transportation Chair I’m so proud to see this bill signed into law. A very important measure in keeping our roads and our children safe!
The new law increases penalties for passing a stopped school bus and mandate license suspensions for both first-time and repeat offenders.
Nothing is more important than keeping kids safe, and this new law will protect our students on their way to and from school.
The new law in New Hampshire is House Bill 1308 (HB 1308), which was officially signed into law in June 2026. This legislation significantly elevates the criminal charges, introduces mandatory driver’s license suspensions for first-time offenders, and implements strict jail time for repeat violators.
