  • Redefines the violation as failing to stop when a school bus displays flashing lamps to take on or discharge children, replacing previous language referencing "illegally overtaking and passing"

  • Adds definition of "owner" to mean the registered vehicle owner or lessee, explicitly excluding vehicle rental companies from liability
