The current Act prescribes provisions concerning the traffic safety of school buses for children, requiring school buses for children operated by schools, childcare centers, private teaching institutes, sports facilities, etc., to be reported to the chief of the relevant police station, and requiring operators and drivers of school buses for children to complete safety education regarding school buses for children.
However, these provisions create blind spots in school transport safety as school vehicles operated by a public institution or civil organization, etc., are not categorized as school buses for children, and guardians on board school buses for children who help with the boarding and alighting of children are not required to complete safety education regarding school buses for children.
Accordingly, the Amendment increases the scope of school buses for children and includes on-board guardians in the scope of persons required to complete safety education regarding school buses for children, thereby aiming to ensure the safety of children (Article 2, subparagraph 23, item E; Article 53-3; and Article 160, paragraph 2, subparagraph 4-5).

Increase the scope of school buses for children to include motor vehicles operated for children by public institutions, civil organizations, and other facilities specified by Presidential Decree; and include on-board guardians in the scope of persons required to complete safety education regarding school buses for children (Article 2, subparagraph 2, item E; Article 53-3)
