Allows municipality to use school bus video footage to ticket driver for illegally passing school bus.
This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to use school bus video footage to enforce laws against drivers illegally passing stopped school buses. It requires law enforcement to review footage within 90 days to issue fines ($100 for first offense, $250 for repeat offenses) when violations are confirmed, with footage purged after 60 days or 3 days if no ticket is issued. The bill clarifies that vehicle owners and operators are jointly liable for fines unless the owner proves unauthorized use, with special rules for leased vehicles. It also prohibits adding points to driver's licenses for these violations and restricts footage use to enforcement purposes only, not public disclosure.
