Plain-language change summary

The amendment to SB 3149 adds specific requirements for electronic rearview monitoring systems used by public transit agencies. These systems must now include features to prevent ice and water buildup that could obstruct the view but are prohibited from having audio or video recording capabilities, as well as facial recognition software. This change is important because it ensures safety and privacy while still allowing these agencies to meet modern vehicle safety standards without relying on traditional mirrors.
