Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 5 mixed.

Camera fines and your driving record

Police can issue a civil ticket when a bus camera records a stop‑arm violation. The local authority sets the fine, but it cannot be lower than the state minimum for this offense. These camera citations are not labeled traffic violations and do not count as moving violations for driver‑record points. Money from these fines goes to the local school district to fund the camera system, safety work, and enforcement.

Evidence and privacy for bus cameras

The system should avoid filming people inside a car when possible. Photos and videos from the system count as evidence without extra proof. The vehicle’s owner is presumed to be the driver, but you can file a sworn statement naming who had the car or saying it was stolen. Theft claims must include proof, like a police or insurance report. Images must be deleted within 90 days after no ticket is issued or after the case is finished.

How camera tickets are issued

After an officer reviews the video and finds a violation in their area, a civil citation is mailed to the registered owner. The citation must show the date and time, a photo or link, and that the stop arm or flashing red lights were active. You must respond within 90 days by paying or asking for a hearing. Hearings follow state rules. If an officer already issued a roadside ticket for the same incident, no camera citation can also be issued. For mailed camera citations, some usual officer recording and citation‑book rules do not apply.

School bus cameras with 30-day notice

Beginning July 1, 2025, school districts may install camera systems on their buses to catch drivers who pass stopped buses. Districts can hire vendors and must work with the local traffic agency to review evidence. A public awareness campaign must run for at least 30 days before tickets start, and only warnings are allowed during that time. State law also allows this camera use even though photo enforcement is otherwise banned.

Start date and report rule exception

The law takes effect July 1, 2025. Reports added or changed by this act are exempt from one state rule that otherwise limits some reporting requirements.
