Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding in Article 15 of Chapter 1 of Title 33.1 a section numbered 33.1-223.2:18 as follows:

§ 33.1-223.2:18. School bus stops indicators.

The Department shall allow any local school board to install signs or other devices to indicate school bus stops. Installation of school bus stop signs or other devices on any state-maintained highway shall be approved by the Department prior to installation. This is not a requirement to install signs at all school bus stops. Maintenance, repair, and replacement of school bus stop signs shall be the responsibility of the local school board.  The Department, in conformance with the Department's current policies for emergency snow removal operations, shall use its best efforts to ensure that signed school bus stop areas shall not be obstructed by snow removal operations. Installation of school bus stop signs shall not designate the area as school property.
