Allows municipality to use school bus video footage to ticket driver for illegally passing school bus.
S 3670 allows New Jersey municipalities to use school bus video footage to issue tickets for illegally passing school buses. Law enforcement must review the footage within 90 days to determine if a violation occurred and issue a $100 ticket for a first offense (or $250 for repeat offenses), with footage deleted within 60 days after fines are paid or 3 days if no ticket is issued. Vehicle owners and operators are jointly liable for fines, though lessors can avoid responsibility by providing the lessee's details to the court. The bill specifies that school bus video footage is not a public record and cannot be used in most legal proceedings outside of this specific traffic enforcement context.
