NE LB991

School districts may install and operate stop-signal-arm camera systems on district-owned buses, or contract with private vendors for installation, operation, and support services

Camera data (images, photographs, video, audio) must be imprinted with date, time, and location; buses with cameras must display a warning readable from 100 feet

Violations of school bus stop requirements may be enforced using camera footage if reviewed by a peace officer, with citations mailed to registered vehicle owners within 6 days of the violation

Registered owners may appeal citations within 30 days by providing evidence they were not driving; law enforcement must rescind if adequate evidence is presented

Existing law requires drivers to stop for school buses with extended stop arms and flashing red lights; violations are a Class IV misdemeanor with a $500 fine and license points
