Concerning the safety of school children embarking and disembarking school buses

AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance the safety of school children embarking and disembarking school buses. It allows cities and towns to install and operate school bus violation detection monitoring systems on school buses to enforce violations of drivers who fail to stop for a school bus. The bill defines key terms, such as "school bus violation detection monitoring system" and "violation," and outlines the requirements for these systems, including the types of video and photographic evidence they must capture. It also establishes procedures for reviewing and issuing citations for violations, and specifies that registered owners of vehicles involved in such violations will be primarily responsible, with some exceptions.
