House Bills 4928, 4929, and 4930 would amend different acts to do the following: • Authorize a school district (instead of, as currently, a school) to install or operate a stop-arm camera system on a school bus or enter into a contract with a vendor to do so. (HB 4930) • Additionally allow a school district to enter into an agreement with a law enforcement agency to report a vehicle passing, or failing to stop behind, a school bus that is stopped and has its red lights flashing and to provide evidence to the agency from the stop-arm camera system. (HB 4930) • Remove a provision that now requires a stop-arm camera system to be able to capture images of a distance of at least 200 feet in front of the school bus. (HB 4928) • Require the registered owner of a vehicle that commits a camera-based violation to be fined between $250 and $500 (The bill would also raise the minimum fine to $250 for non-camera-based violations, but would keep the maximum fine at $500). (HB 4928) • Establish the proceedings for establishing and resolving a camera-based violation. (HB 4928) • Require the civil fine described above to be distributed to the school district that operates the school bus. (HBs 4928 and 4930)
