Allows municipality to use school bus video footage to ticket driver for illegally passing school bus.
This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to use school bus video camera footage to enforce laws against illegally passing stopped school buses. It requires law enforcement to review footage within 90 days and issue fines ($100 for first offense, $250 for subsequent offenses) if violations are confirmed, with footage purged after 60 days if no ticket is issued. The law applies to drivers passing buses while children or individuals with developmental disabilities are boarding or exiting, and holds vehicle owners/operators jointly liable for fines unless the owner proves the vehicle was used without consent. Footage cannot be accessed as public records except in specific legal proceedings, and fines cannot affect driver's license points or insurance eligibility.
