House lawmakers unanimously approved legislation Monday that creates harsher penalties for drivers who illegally pass school buses.

The bullets resulted in welts and blood, and teachers outside the room reported hearing screams.

The Indiana House Courts and Criminal Code Committee on Wednesday amended the bill to bar schools or camera vendors from making money from the camera enforcement.

After shootings in two Indiana schools in 2018, lawmakers across the state are proposing legislation aimed at making Hoosier students safer. Here are the measures they'll debate and vote on this session.

Lawmakers say the program is not meant to replace other preventive measures, like increased school security and mental health services.

Under the proposed law, a driver who passes a stopped school bus could have their license suspended and face increasing fines for each violation.

Advocates included students and parents affected by the shooting at Noblesville West Middle School, and the mother of a 4-year-old who fatally shot himself after a babysitter left a loaded firearm unattended.

The parents of a 13-year-old boy who opened fire in a suburban Indianapolis classroom say they could not foresee his actions and deny any responsibility for them.

However, the bill has garnered some criticism from lawmakers who say it's not enough.

The bill's author says it could improve social and emotional support in schools, and ultimately, make them safer.
