This bill amends the School Bus Enhanced Safety Inspection Act to require the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to conduct a minimum of two annual inspections of school buses. These inspections will include one scheduled inspection and additional unscheduled surprise inspections to ensure compliance with safety regulations. The bill also updates the definitions within the act, replacing references to the "Director" and "Division" with "Chief Administrator" and "Commission," respectively, to reflect the current structure of the MVC.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any fines collected under the School Bus Enhanced Safety Inspection Act must be used to support the ongoing administration of the inspection program. This aims to enhance the safety and maintenance of school buses, ensuring that they meet the required safety standards and regulations. The act will take effect at the beginning of the first full fiscal year following its enactment, allowing the Chief Administrator to prepare for its implementation.
