IL SB3195

Increases civil penalties for passing a stopped school bus from a maximum of $150 to a mandatory $300 for first violations, and from a maximum of $500 to a mandatory $1,000 for subsequent violations when captured by automated traffic enforcement systems

Creates a rebuttable presumption that a school bus was loading or unloading pupils when camera footage shows an activated stop signal arm and electronic indicator of visual signal activation

Changes the violation notice deadline from 30 days after Secretary of State notification to 30 days after the municipality or county independently confirms vehicle owner identity, with a maximum 90-day limit

Modifies when drivers must stop for school buses, requiring stops only on highways divided by raised medians or physical barriers rather than the previous standard of 4-or-more lane highways

Allows automated enforcement system vendor compensation to include factors based on citations or revenue, provided it is not based exclusively on those metrics
