HB 2426 Drug-free school zones; school bus stops.
Introduced by: Glenn R. Croshaw | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Drug-free school zones; school bus stops. Adds designated school bus stops and any public property or property open to public use within 1,000 feet of any such school bus stop, during the times school children are waiting to be picked up or are being dropped off, to the sites and scenarios in which it is unlawful to manufacture, sell or distribute or possess with intent to sell, give or distribute any controlled substance, imitation controlled substance or marijuana. Current law, in addressing public school sites, prohibits such activities (i) upon the property, including buildings and grounds, of any public or private elementary, secondary, or post secondary school; (ii) upon public property or any property open to public use within 1,000 feet of such school property; (iii) and on any school bus.
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:
Drug-free school zones; school bus stops. Adds designated school bus stops and any public property or property open to public use within 1,000 feet of any such school bus stop, during the times school children are waiting to be picked up or are being dropped off, to the sites and scenarios in which it is unlawful to manufacture, sell or distribute or possess with intent to sell, give or distribute any controlled substance, imitation controlled substance or marijuana. Current law, in addressing public school sites, prohibits such activities (i) upon the property, including buildings and grounds, of any public or private elementary, secondary, or post secondary school; (ii) upon public property or any property open to public use within 1,000 feet of such school property; (iii) and on any school bus.
Pursuant to § 22.1-277.01:1, schools are to expel students for bringing a controlled substance, imitation controlled substance, or marijuana onto school property or to a school-sponsored activity as prohibited by § 18.2-255.2; this language now appears to provide an exception for students committing such infractions on a school bus--and in the school bus zone proposed by this measure.
