An act relating to traffic cameras and traffic violations for illegally passing a school bus
This bill requires all Type I and II school buses in Vermont to install live digital video systems that capture license plates of vehicles illegally passing stopped buses with flashing lights. It allows traffic citations based on verified camera images, with school bus operators submitting sworn statements and photos within five days of the violation. The system must only record license plates (not people), retain footage for 90 days unless used for enforcement, and destroy it after penalties are paid. This directly affects school bus operators (who must install cameras), drivers who pass stopped buses, and Vermont's traffic enforcement process for school bus safety violations.
