Bill Summary
For legislation to promote access to zero-emission school buses. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote the adoption of zero-emission school buses in Massachusetts. It establishes a program within the Department of Energy Resources to provide financial assistance to offset the cost difference between purchasing or leasing zero-emission school buses and those powered by diesel or other fossil fuels. The bill also requires the Operational Services Division to set up a statewide contract to enable municipalities and regional school districts to more easily acquire zero-emission school buses. The program prioritizes assistance for communities with lower household incomes or higher rates of childhood asthma, and the Department is required to publish data on the program's usage and impact.
