Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law and the tax law, in relation to allowing for reimbursement of school districts for the purchase or lease of electric school buses
AI Summary
This bill amends the education law and the tax law to allow for the reimbursement of school districts for the purchase or lease of electric school buses. The key provisions include:
1. Adding the costs of installing electric vehicle charging stations and the costs of electricity for charging electric vehicles used for transporting students as aidable transportation expenses.
2. Providing an incentive apportionment for the purchase or lease of electric school buses, with the incentive amount varying based on the school district's level of state aid.
3. Exempting the sales tax on the purchase of electric omnibuses (school buses) used to transport school children by a carrier contracted by a New York school district or operating with a certificate of authority.
4. Extending the maximum lease term for electric school buses from 5 years to 10 years.
The bill aims to encourage the transition to electric school transportation by addressing the financial barriers and providing incentives for school districts to adopt this environmentally-friendly technology.
