Bill Proposes Stiffer Penalties for School Bus Trespassing
Posted: 12:19 PM Jan 12, 2013
Reporter: The Associated Press
One of the first bills proposed in reaction to the Connecticut school shootings would strengthen penalties for trespassing on Alabama school buses.
The bill pre-filed by Republican Senator Cam Ward of Alabaster would establish a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison if convicted.
The bill would make it a crime for an unauthorized adult to board a school bus. The bill also would make it a crime to vandalize a bus or to enter a bus for the purpose of doing damage. Ward says the proposed law would make it harder for someone to harm children on a school bus.
Ward says there is currently very little penalty for an unauthorized adult entering a school bus.
