This Senate Amendment adds bus attendants as follows: (1) Identifies that bus attendants may be giving the order to exit the school bus and therefore adds that a person may be guilty of disorderly conduct if they refuse to comply with the lawful order made by the bus attendant. (2) Adds that a person may be guilty of disorderly conduct if they threaten a bus attendant. This Amendment specifies that it is not a “threat” for purposes of paragraph § 1301(a)(3)b.3. if a person makes a statement that they plan to hire an attorney, seek a legal remedy, or inform others about concerns. This Amendment also gives additional protections for the parents of students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a Section 504 plan to address a health or safety concern.
