Proposed California Bills Would Require Internal and External School Bus Cameras
In an effort to cut down on bullying and drivers not stopping for school buses, the California Legislature has introduced two bills that would require school buses and child care car/vans to use video recording systems.
School Bus Laws
Assembly Bill 934 would require all school buses, youth buses, school pupil activity buses, and child care motor vehicles to have internal video systems. According to Asm. Mike Gipson, the bill's author, the new law will be an effective way to stop bullying and vandalism. The bill would also require an external video system on school buses that have a stop signal arm to record drivers who don't stop when a school bus is stopped. Drivers who violate the law would be fined and the school district would get a portion of the fines.

Senate Bill 371 would require school districts to use external video cameras to catch drivers breaking the law. These videos should not include driver or passenger faces, but will record the car's make, model, color and license plate.
