The title of this hearing is examining state and federal recommendations for enhancing School Safety against targeted violence. First of all, i want to welcome everybody to the hearing room. I certainly want to thank our eyewitnesses for taking the time, for your testimony, and in particular, i want to shout out max and tom, and your families, and the other families of the tragedies for attending here, and for just your unbelievable dedication turning your tragedy into, hopefully, some positive action that can prevent tragedies for other families.

After every mass shooting that makes the headlines, leader mcconnell says its too soon to talk about policies. There have been more Mass Shootings this year than there have been days in the year.

Im interested in keeping them safe not only as a get on and off school buses but in keeping them safe in the streets as they go to school. It is true that school buses have a relatively safe safety record. It is also true that children are injured every day or every year in bus related crashes.

There are school buses in my own district. Most take other modes of transportation, including walking, biking or riding in a car, going on public transportation.

We are going to hear today from what congress can do to stop violations by drivers who illegally Pass School Buses loading or unloading pa
