ANNAPOLIS — Maryland lawmakers are planning to vote Friday on legislation enabling local jurisdictions to monitor and ticket drivers using video cameras mounted on school buses. Under the bill, drivers caught on tape illegally passing a stopped school bus would be eligible for a $250 fine. School bus drivers would be responsible for notifying law enforcement officials of violations and handing over the tapes, according to the bill.

The measure gained traction in the Maryland Senate on Thursday, after lawmakers voted down amendments that would have reduced the fine to $40.
