Senate transmits bill to require vehicles to stop for school buses' flashing red lights

A message from the Minnesota Senate transmitted Senate File 3623 to the House on March 5; the clerk described the measure on the floor as "an act relating to transportation requiring vehicles approaching school buses to stop for flashing red lights." The House recorded the first reading and ordered the message referred to the chief clerk for comparison.

The transmission of the Senate bill was announced by the clerk and placed on the general register for processing; the transcript shows no floor debate over the bill's substance during the session. The presiding officer noted the referral to the chief clerk for comparison, a routine step when the House receives measures from the other chamber.

No committee assignment, amendments, or vote on the bill's text were recorded in the provided floor transcript. The next procedural steps typically include committee referral and hearings, but those actions were not present in the session record provided.
