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 clarifies definitions within the act, such as changing "Director" to "Chief Administrator" and "Division" to "Commission," thereby aligning terminology with the MVC's structure.

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 provision aims to ensure that the funds are utilized effectively to maintain and enhance the safety inspection processes for school buses. 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.
