Plain-English Summary

The bill would allow school districts to install cameras on school buses that record when drivers illegally pass stopped buses, helping enforce traffic laws that protect children getting on and off buses. These camera recordings could be used as evidence to ticket or fine drivers who violate stop-arm laws, which currently exist in most states but are often ignored. The measure aims to reduce dangerous traffic violations around school buses and improve safety for students and bus drivers.
