Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill SCR 62 specifies that the Department of Transportation and Development is urged to evaluate the safety measures and speed limits specifically in school zones located on state highways, rather than evaluating all school zones generally. This change is significant because it highlights the need for targeted improvements in areas where children are particularly vulnerable, especially in light of tragic incidents, ensuring the safety of students and crossing guards in those specific areas.
