Relating to the enforcement of the prohibition on passing a school bus using images and video from a school bus infraction detection system.

HB 1282 allows school districts and open-enrollment charter schools in Texas to use camera systems on school buses to detect drivers illegally passing stopped school buses. The bill defines a "school bus infraction detection system" as a camera setup capturing video and still images for this purpose. It amends traffic code to permit school districts to issue citations based on evidence from these systems, while maintaining restrictions on other photographic traffic enforcement. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, directly affecting school districts, drivers who pass school buses, and traffic enforcement procedures.
