Bill > HB1793

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 6, Part 21, regarding school transportation. It increases the mileage requirement for a conventional or Class D school bus to be approved for additional years of service from 200,000 miles to 300,000 miles. The bill also specifies that a bus approved to operate beyond its 18th year must be discontinued once it reaches 300,000 miles, instead of the previous 200,000-mile limit. These changes aim to allow school buses with higher mileage to continue operating for additional years, subject to the commissioner of safety's approval.
