Following a second round of amendments, the House of Representatives unanimously approved a bill on Monday, sponsored by the IEA, that would amend Idaho law to shield a school bus driver from civil or criminal liability in the event he or she comes to the aid of a rider who may be in danger.
SB 1232aa now returns to the full Senate. If they concur with the amendments made by the House, the bill will make its way to the Governor’s desk for his signature. If the Senate rejects the House amendments, the bill will be dead for the 2014 session.
