HB 458 -- USE OF WARNING SIGNALS

CO-SPONSORS:  Lawson, Myers, Barnett

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee
on Critical Issues, Consumer Protection and Housing by a vote of
17 to 0.

This bill allows flashing warning lights to be used on church
buses.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that use of signals by church buses
is a matter of safety and that children are accustomed to having
cars stop when they exit a school bus.  Also, many of these
buses, being old school buses, are already equipped with signals.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Lawson.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
