School zone crosswalks.

HB 68 requires drivers to stop for pedestrians in marked school zone crosswalks. It allows schools to install video systems to monitor compliance, operating only during school hours (7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on school days). If a driver’s identity is unknown, the vehicle’s registered owner faces a $195 fine (not counted as a moving violation), and video evidence can be used in court but must be deleted after one year. The bill affects drivers in school zones and vehicle owners, with specific protections for owners who didn’t consent to the driver or sold the vehicle before the violation. It became law effective July 1, 2023, though it died in committee before passing.
