The Albany County Legislature on Monday adopted a local law designed to protect school children by imposing fines on motor vehicle owners that fail to stop for buses that are picking up or dropping off students and have a stop-arm deployed.

The local law establishes a program that involves the County Executive entering into agreements with school districts for the installation, maintenance and use of school bus photo violation monitoring systems.
"The passage of Local Law C for 2021 is the type of common sense and bipartisan legislation that all Albany County residents should be proud of. This law protects children and families at their bus stops and does so at no cost to the schools or the county. This is a win-win for all parties and I encourage eligible school districts in the county to join with us in this important partnership," said Albany County Legislator Matthew Miller, who sponsored the bill. "Drivers passing stopped school buses is a way too common occurrence and I believe this bill, combined with strict enforcement, will become a deterrent to these impatient drivers who put so many lives at risk every day. No family should have to have to be worried about their child's safety while heading to or from school and this bill should help to mitigate those concerns for many years to come."
