AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance student transportation safety by amending existing laws related to school bus infraction detection systems. Key provisions include: requiring law enforcement to send violation notices to registered owners within a specified timeframe, allowing courts to determine whether violations have occurred and uphold them, specifying that civil penalties collected must be used for the installation, operation, and maintenance of school bus infraction detection systems, as well as other student transportation safety initiatives. The bill also prohibits the use of these systems for remote surveillance and limits the use of recorded video and images. Additionally, it reduces the additional penalty amount from $65 to $25 for violations enforced by school bus infraction detection systems, with the $25 to be remitted to the participating school district.
