Bill Summary

Relative to the safety of school children embarking and disembarking school buses. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill allows cities and towns in Massachusetts to install and operate live digital video school bus violation detection monitoring systems to enforce violations against the owners of motor vehicles that fail to stop for a school bus when required to do so. The systems would produce video and photographic evidence of such violations, which would then be reviewed by a trained law enforcement officer who could issue a citation to the registered owner of the vehicle. The bill establishes the procedures for issuing, contesting, and collecting such citations, as well as restrictions on the use and storage of the video and photographic evidence. The bill also allows for the suspension of the owner's license or vehicle registration for failure to pay fines related to these violations.
