STATEMENT
This bill requires the State Police to provide a link on its website to allow any person to report reckless or aggressive driving committed by a driver of a school bus.
Current law defines a "school bus" as every motor vehicle operated by, or under contract with, a public or governmental agency, or religious or other charitable organization or corporation, or privately operated for the transportation of children to or from school for secular or religious education, which complies with the regulations of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission affecting school buses, including School Vehicle Type 1 and School Vehicle Type II.
Under current law, School Vehicle Type I and School Vehicle Type II include vehicles that are used to transport children and adults, only when serving as chaperones, to or from a school, school connected activity, day camp, summer day camp, summer residence camp, nursery school, child care center, preschool center or other similar places of education.
