Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 46.2-1089 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 46.2-1089. Paint and lettering on school bus.

School buses shall be painted yellow with the words "School Bus" on the front and rear in letters at least eight inches high. All school buses shall be equipped with warning devices prescribed in § 46.2-1090. Only school buses as defined in § 46.2-100 may be painted yellow, identified by lettering as provided in this section, and equipped with the specified warning devices. A vehicle which merely transports pupils or residents at a school from one point to another without intermittent stops for the purpose of picking up or discharging pupils need not comply with the requirements of this section.

Nothing in this section or in any regulation of the Department of Education shall prevent or control the display of advertising on the outside of school buses operated in York County. Any such advertising shall be as provided by guidelines of the York County School Board.
