Council Bluffs, IA - (AP) - With a new school year starting, Iowa drivers are being reminded of a new school bus safety law.
"Kadyn's Law" is named for Kadyn Halverson, a 7-year-old girl who was hit by a pickup and killed last year while walking to her bus. Aaron Gunderson, of Northwood, was sentenced in January to 15 years for her death.
The law increases penalties for failure to slow for a bus with flashing lights or stop when the stop arm is extended. Injuring or killing a child under those conditions carries more severe penalties.
