Allows boards of cooperative educational services to install school bus stop sign cameras
This bill allows boards of cooperative educational services and local municipalities to install cameras on school buses to automatically detect and fine drivers who fail to stop for the bus. Under the proposed rules, local governments would pay for the equipment and its maintenance, while the school districts or boards would handle the technical operation of the systems. The bill strictly limits how the captured images can be used, prohibiting their use in school disciplinary actions or for any purpose other than enforcing traffic laws related to stopping for school buses. Additionally, the legislation requires that if a local government fails to pay the certified costs, the camera program in that area must be suspended until the debt is resolved.
