PSBA Supports SB 117, PN 1376 Proposed Changes to PA Wiretap Law
Many school bus contractors are faced with the Pennsylvania wiretap law dilemma. That is, school districts contractually or informally require video and audio taping on school buses for the purpose of enhancing student safety and addressing student discipline issues.
