School Bus & School Zone Infractions

Notice:  Due to a change in Georgia law, all users must complete and upload a new agreement no later than September 1, 2024.

HB 978 Governing Body Agreement

Georgia law allows the Governing Body or its Agent to place a hold on a vehicle’s registration that will prevent the vehicle owner from renewing registration and obtaining a renewal decal until the penalties have been paid to the governing body or its agent.

The Department will meet its obligations under this law systematically through its Driver Record and Integrated Vehicle Enterprise System (“DRIVES”) e-Services upon request of a Governing Body or its Agent.

In order for a Governing Body or its Agent to place and remove holds on motor vehicles, the Governing Body or Agent must:

1. Register through DRIVES e-Services.
2. Click the “School Bus Login” link under the Login heading. Then click the “Register Here” link next to “School Bus and Zone Holds” and follow the instructions.
3. Once registered, the Governing Body or Agent must login and follow the instructions to place or remove a hold on a motor vehicle.
   Note:  These procedures are subject to change.
