Plain-language change summary

The amendments to the bill update the definition of a "bus obstruction monitoring system" by removing the phrase "that includes onboard cameras." This change clarifies that the monitoring system is designed to capture recorded images during violations without specifying the use of onboard cameras. The bill also adds specificity regarding what constitutes a "covered violation," identifying actions such as stopping, standing, or parking in a dedicated bus lane as violations, which may help in the enforcement of bus lane regulations.
