AB 2449: Schoolbuses: stop signal arm enforcement system.

The proposed legislation aims to enhance schoolbus safety by implementing a stop signal arm enforcement system. The system would allow school districts to pilot-test the technology, which would require the district to publish data and post operational information online. The system would use cameras to enforce stop signal arm usage, and photographic records would be confidential. The fines for violating schoolbus provisions would be recast as civil penalties, and the system would require annual reports to the governor, legislature, and DMV. The legislation also makes findings to justify limiting access to public meetings and writings.
