Requires school buses transporting students with special needs to be equipped with certain safety features.

This bill requires all New Jersey school buses transporting students with special needs to install two specific safety features. First, buses must have an electronic seat belt alert system with weight sensors that audibly and visually alerts drivers if seat belts are unfastened while moving. Second, buses must display unique barcodes (both inside and outside) that drivers scan during post-trip inspections to confirm no students were left behind. The Commissioner of Education will establish rules for these systems, with implementation required six months after the bill takes effect. The law directly affects school bus operators serving students with special needs under New Jersey's existing transportation regulations.
