AI Summary

This bill establishes a zero-emission school buses grant program in Massachusetts. The program is administered by the Secretary of the Executive Office of Education and aims to offset the cost difference between purchasing or contracting zero-emission school buses (which produce no engine exhaust emissions) and diesel-powered school buses. Grant funds can also be used to cover the costs of charging infrastructure and related upgrades. Municipal and regional school districts in the state are eligible to apply for these grants, with the Secretary prioritizing environmental justice communities in the award process. The bill also requires the Secretary to publish information about the program online, issue notifications to certain school districts, and regularly report on the program's usage and impact.
