Bill Summary

For legislation relative to school bus safety. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to improve school bus safety by authorizing cities and towns within Massachusetts to install and operate live digital video school bus violation detection monitoring systems. These systems would monitor and detect vehicles that fail to stop for a school bus when required to do so under state law. The bill outlines the specific parameters for these monitoring systems, including the types of evidence they must capture, the procedures for issuing citations to vehicle owners, and the penalties and process for contesting violations. The bill also provides for the reimbursement of installation, operation, and maintenance costs for these monitoring systems from the revenue generated by citations issued through the system.
