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

AI Summary

This bill allows cities and towns to install and operate live digital video school bus violation detection monitoring systems to enforce violations against the registered owners of motor vehicles that fail to stop for a school bus when required to do so. The bill outlines the requirements for such systems, the procedures for issuing citations, and the penalties for violations. It also specifies that the fines collected shall be paid to the city or town where the offense was committed, and that the violation shall be noted on the registered owner's driving record but shall not be considered a criminal conviction or a surchargeable offense. The bill further provides for the destruction of recorded images and information that do not identify a violation, and requires an annual report on the use and operation of the monitoring systems.
