Maddy summaryBill A 5336 establishes a new class A misdemeanor crime called "unlawful dissemination of a security body scan." This bill makes it illegal for a person to knowingly share a body scan, or any images from it, that was taken for legal security purposes without the permission of the individual who was scanned. The offense occurs if the scan is shared with someone not authorized to receive it by state or federal law. This measure aims to protect individuals by criminalizing the unauthorized distribution of these sensitive images.
Maddy summaryThis bill creates a 18-member task force to review and improve safety in school transportation. The task force, appointed by state leaders and including education stakeholders, school bus drivers, and agency heads, will study existing safety laws, bus stop practices, pedestrian safety, and protocols for drivers (including substitutes). It must issue recommendations within 18 months on measures like retrofitting buses, using sensor technology, and curbing illegal passing of school buses. The bill does not implement new safety rules but establishes a review process to inform future policy. (Procedural bill; expires 24 months after enactment.)
