The opinion
O’CONNELL, C. J.,
dissenting.
It is my opinion that ORS 485.020 was intended to be an autonomous statute dealing with the operation of school busses in relation to the safety of the children transported by school bus and that ORS 483.362 was not intended to control in those circumstances. It is provided in ORS 485.050 that the Department of Education has the power to implement ORS 485.020 by adopting regulations relating to the safety of the operation of school busses. In my opinion Regulation 19, adopted by the Department, was within the authority granted to it under ORS 485.050.
