<p>California Gov. Jerry Brown&nbsp;<a href="http://ift.tt/2dbpUz4">Photo via Flikr (usacehq)</a></p>Two years after a charter bus crash killed 10 people, including five Los Angeles-area high school students, Gov. Jerry Brown on Sept. 27 signed legislation that will improve safety regulations for such large vehicles.

The bill will require charter buses designed to carry 39 or more passengers and made after July 1, 2020 to be equipped with emergency lighting that would be automatically activated in the event of a collision.

The measure also requires bus drivers to provide written or video instructions to all passengers on how to use the vehicle’s safety equipment and emergency exits prior to any trip.
