Many people have seen drivers who illegally pass stopped school buses.

"I've seen it... school bus stops, stop sign comes up, and they just blow through it," Henri Devigne, of Norwalk says. "It’s not cool."

While some towns and cities have added stop-arm cameras on school buses, state lawmakers are taking it a step further with legislation aimed at cracking down harder on repeat offenders.

A new bill would suspend a person’s driver's license for six months if they’re caught three times illegally passing a stopped school bus.

"That’s going to slow a lot of people down," George Reid, of Norwalk says, "and that’s something that’s definitely appreciated."

But the new bill doesn’t apply to infractions caught on stop-arm cameras, meaning a police officer would have to actually catch a driver in the act, and pull them over three times for their license to get suspended.

“What are the odds of that happening?" Lisa Caplan of Weston says. "That’s not going to happen.” “To me, that won’t work," Devigne says. "We’ve got the camera technology; we should be taking plates."

It’s a due process issue, says state Rep. Steven Stafstrom, of Bridgeport, but things could change down the road.

“The fine for passing a school bus, and the camera catches you, is $200," says state Rep. Stafstrom. "I think if a police officer catches you, it’s $450, so it is a higher penalty already." The bill now heads to the governor's desk to be signed into law.

“To see them both work in conjunction would be the right way to go," says Devigne.
