SB 508 allows school buses to install cameras to record drivers illegally passing them. Bus operators or third-party vendors can submit photo/video evidence of violations to traffic officers, who can then issue fines.

It directly affects drivers who violate school bus stop laws, creating a new process for evidence-based enforcement.
