Brake for Kids Act of 2025

# Brake for Kids Act of 2025 - Plain Language Summary **What the Bill Does:** If passed, this bill would require the Department of Transportation to create and run a national public safety campaign warning drivers about the dangers of illegally passing stopped school buses. The campaign would use various media formats—including TV, radio, and social media ads—to educate the public about this traffic safety issue. The bill specifies that existing federal infrastructure funds would be used to pay for this campaign. **Who It Affects:** The campaign would primarily target drivers, but ultimately aims to protect school children.

It would be a public awareness effort similar to other national safety campaigns (like those about distracted driving or seatbelt use). **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't advanced to a full vote yet. It was introduced by Representative Pete Stauber (R-MN) in the 119th Congress.
