Municipal court does not have jurisdiction over the offense of passing a school bus loading or unloading children.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not applicable
• D. It depends

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that municipal courts handle traffic offenses within their city limits. Passing a school bus that is loading or unloading children is a traffic violation governed by state traffic laws. If that act occurs inside a municipality, the municipal court is the proper forum to hear the case, so the statement that there is no jurisdiction is false. If the offense happens outside municipal boundaries, then other courts (like county or state) would have jurisdiction. The choice doesn’t depend on varying rules here, because the general rule is municipal courts handle within-city traffic violations.
