IL SB1338

Amends Section 12-803 of the Illinois Vehicle Code to permit school buses to be equipped with an extended stop signal or second stop signal apparatus on the driver's side.

Extended stop signal apparatus may extend no more than 7 feet from the school bus and must include a second octagonal sign conforming to the same requirements as the original stop signal.

Second stop signal apparatus must be attached to the original stop signal arm so that if struck by a vehicle, it separates from the bus without affecting the operation of the original stop signal arm.

Takes effect January 1, 2020.
