Transportation (Public Transit)

LB 991 allows Nebraska school districts to install and operate camera systems on school buses to capture vehicles that fail to stop when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. The bill requires buses with such cameras to display a visible warning sign readable from 100 feet and mandates that captured footage include the date, time, and location of the violation. School districts can use the footage to enforce existing traffic laws that require drivers to stop for school buses, with the data potentially being shared with law enforcement. This bill does not change the traffic rules for school buses but adds a new enforcement tool for violations that endanger children.
