Relating to school buses.
HB 2530 allows Oregon school districts and other education providers to install and operate automated stop arm cameras on school buses to record drivers who fail to stop for safety lights. The law requires warning signs on buses, limits cameras to capturing license plates and violation details (not students or drivers), and mandates police review before citations are issued. Drivers can dispute citations by submitting proof they weren’t driving within 30 days, and citations must be mailed within 10 business days. The bill takes effect January 1, 2026.
