Summary

The measure upgrades punishments for vehicular assault, homicide and other moving‑violation offenses committed inside active school zones, including higher fines and longer driver‑license suspensions. It also defines key terms such as “active school zone,” sets signage and speed‑limit requirements, and adds extra penalties for repeat or distracted‑driving offenses. The intent is to make school‑area streets safer for children and other pedestrians.
