School Bus Cameras/Evidence and Contract Length.

SB 411 changes how school bus camera footage is used in traffic enforcement and extends contracts for these cameras. It makes footage from automated school bus safety cameras "prima facie evidence" (meaning it automatically counts as proof) that a driver failed to stop for a bus displaying stop signals, directly affecting drivers who violate this rule. The bill also extends the maximum contract length for local school boards to partner with private vendors for these cameras from 3 to 5 years, with one possible 5-year renewal. These changes apply to offenses committed after December 1, 2025, and new contracts after July 1, 2025.
