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 terms such as "Director" and "Division" with "Chief Administrator" and "Commission," respectively, to reflect the current structure of the MVC.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that any fines collected under the School Bus Enhanced Safety Inspection Act must be allocated for the ongoing administration of the inspection program. This aims to enhance the effectiveness of the program and ensure that resources are available for its continued operation. The bill is set to take effect at the beginning of the first full fiscal year following its enactment, allowing the Chief Administrator to take necessary preparatory actions for implementation.
