Senate Bill No. 1390 amends the existing law regarding live digital video school bus violation detection monitoring systems by extending the deadlines for municipalities and local boards of education. Specifically, the bill changes the date by which municipalities that are not currently operating such systems can begin operations from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2026. Additionally, it extends the deadline for municipalities and boards already using these systems to cease operations from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2028. The bill also stipulates that private vendors may continue to operate these systems beyond July 1, 2028, under certain conditions, including that their agreements were established before July 1, 2026, and that no renewal options are exercised after that date.

The bill's changes result in a potential revenue loss for municipalities starting in fiscal year 2027, as they may no longer collect fines from violations due to the extended deadlines. However, it may also lead to savings for municipalities that would no longer need to pay for vendor services related to these monitoring systems. Overall, the bill aims to provide municipalities with additional time to comply with the regulations surrounding the use of live digital video monitoring systems for enforcing the stop arm law, which prohibits drivers from passing school buses with flashing red lights.
