AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to provide for a nonresident vocational education transportation reimbursement program. The program would reimburse the transportation costs for students who live in a town that is not part of a regional vocational school district or does not have its own vocational school, but who attend a vocational school. The reimbursement would be limited to students eligible for free or reduced-cost lunches, and the types of eligible transportation would include school buses, parent/guardian transport, and public transportation. The bill requires the Board of Education to develop and administer the program, subject to appropriation, and to promulgate regulations and disseminate information about the program.
