HB 4928 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Transportation: school vehicles; school bus stop-arm cameras; allow, and provide civil sanctions for violations. Amends secs. 682, 741, 742 & 909 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.682 et seq.).

This bill updates Michigan's vehicle code to allow school districts to use cameras on school buses to automatically detect and fine drivers who fail to stop when the bus is loading or unloading students. It establishes that drivers caught by these cameras must pay civil fines between $100 and $500, with the revenue from these fines going directly to the school district that operates the bus for safety-related purposes. The legislation also clarifies that vehicles on divided highways with physical barriers or raised dividers do not need to stop for a school bus on the other side, and it sets specific rules for how law enforcement agencies can review camera evidence and issue citations.
