A 765 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires school vehicles transporting students with disabilities to display certain information.

This bill requires school buses transporting students with disabilities (and all school buses) to display specific information on their rear, including a school bus identification number, telephone number, website address, and other identifying details in contrasting color. The information must be displayed via a sticker designed by the Motor Vehicle Commission, allowing the public to report driver misconduct to authorities. Failure to display this information results in escalating fines ($250, $500, or $1,000 plus disqualification for repeated violations). The bill applies to all school bus operators - including school districts, nonpublic schools, and contractors - and mandates that reports of misconduct be logged, reviewed within 10 days, and investigated by the Division of State Police and Department of Education.
