Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would allow local governments in Kentucky to install camera systems at school bus stops, funded through a new state grant program. It sets rules for how footage can be used and stored, and gives parents the right to object to their children being filmed, with required blurring of any child whose parent opts out. Who it may affect: parents and guardians of school-age children, local governments, and public school districts.
