June Act Aims to Protect School Bus Stops | Greenville News

A seventeen-year-old boy, Jomiltron Fair Jr., was fatally shot at his school bus stop in Gaffney, South Carolina, igniting a community outcry and a push for change. Former city councilwoman Missy Reid Norris is leading the charge with her “June Act,” seeking to make school bus stops official safety zones with harsher penalties for gun violence near children. The tragedy left 15 students on the bus that day, many traumatized — one mother now waits with her kids daily as a painful reminder of their vulnerability. With Rep. Bryan Lawson ready to collaborate, the goal is clear: prevent future losses and honor Jomiltron’s memory through legislation that protects children before they even step into school.
