Bill > HB05460

This bill proposes to amend existing state transportation statutes to provide free bus public transportation for high school students during specific timeframes outside of regular school hours. Specifically, the bill would exempt high school students from paying bus fares during the two-hour period before the start of the regular school day and the four-hour period immediately following the end of the regular school day. The purpose of this provision is to enable students to more easily access extracurricular activities and employment opportunities by removing the financial barrier of transportation costs. By offering free bus transportation during these extended hours, the bill aims to support students' broader educational and professional development by making it easier for them to participate in activities and work opportunities that occur outside of standard school hours.
