The bill appropriates $8,400,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to enhance traffic safety through the purchase and installation of school bus stop-signal arm camera systems. This funding is designated for school districts, nonpublic schools, charter schools, and companies that provide school bus services. The commissioner of public safety is tasked with awarding grants for this purpose, adhering to the same requirements established in previous legislation.

This appropriation is a one-time allocation and will remain available until June 30, 2027, ensuring that the necessary resources are provided to improve safety measures around school bus stops. The bill aims to enhance the protection of students as they board and disembark from school buses, thereby promoting safer transportation practices within the state.
