Requires school buses that transport students with special needs to be equipped with certain safety features.

This bill requires school buses transporting students with special needs to be equipped with three specific safety features: an interior video camera for monitoring student safety, real-time GPS tracking for location and speed, and two-way communication devices (like cellular phones). It specifies that video footage and GPS data collected under this requirement are not considered government records, meaning they are exempt from public disclosure laws. The State Board of Education and New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission must create rules governing the installation, use, and retention of these devices and their data, including how long video footage can be stored. The law takes effect six months after enactment, allowing time for administrative preparation.
