Summary

The legislation updates New Jersey’s school‑bus safety law to permit the installation of monitoring systems on buses, and clarifies how drivers must stop when a bus is loading or unloading children or a person with a developmental disability. It adds a $250 civil fine for violations caught on camera, with the money going to local municipalities, while keeping existing criminal penalties for other offenses. The changes aim to improve safety and enforcement on highways and streets.
