Georgia law enforcement ready to crack down on drivers illegally passing school bus
Addy's law is in effect as of July 1st.

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – — Starting Monday July 1st, Middle Georgia law enforcement is cracking down on drivers who illegally pass school buses. It’s a new law called Addy’s Law. It’s named after an 8-year-old girl who died trying to cross the street to get to her bus.
Even though summer just started, it’s not too early to think about school starting. Dodge County Sheriff Brian Robinson said he and his deputies will be looking out for drivers illegally passing school buses.
“We’re going to enforce it if people pass this school bus you’re going to get a citation. You’re going to go to court and you’re going to have to be at the judge’s mercy,” Robinson said.
If caught illegally passing a school bus, the fine is a minimum of $1,000. You can also face up to a year in jail.
