SB 391 clarifies that the requirement for school buses to be equipped with audiovisual recording devices applies to public school boards *and* the governing bodies of private or tribal schools. The bill amends existing law by replacing "board" with "board, or the governing body of a private school or tribal school" to explicitly include these entities. This change ensures all schools operating buses - public, private, or tribal - must comply with the recording device requirement. The bill does not create new requirements but specifies which school entities are subject to the existing mandate.

AB 737 allows municipalities to establish neighborhood improvement districts that can impose special property charges to fund infrastructure directly related to residential development within those neighborhoods. Property owners in designated districts would pay these charges, which can be collected in installments over time and included in regular tax bills, rather than requiring delinquency. The bill requires districts to specify exactly which infrastructure projects the funds will support and how charges are calculated per parcel, while allowing exemptions from notice requirements if a single owner holds all properties in the district. This legislation affects local property owners and municipalities by creating a new mechanism for financing neighborhood-specific infrastructure improvements through targeted assessments.
