Bill Summary

As introduced, extends the use of service of a conventional and Class D school bus from 200,000 miles to 230,000 miles. - Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 6 and Title 55.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law to increase the maximum service mileage for conventional and Class D school buses from 200,000 miles to 230,000 miles. By extending the allowable mileage limit, the legislation will permit school districts to continue using school buses that have traveled up to 230,000 miles, potentially reducing transportation costs by delaying the need to replace vehicles. The change is specifically made to Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-6-2109(b)(2), which previously set the maximum service mileage at 200,000 miles. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, with the rationale that the change serves the public welfare by potentially allowing school districts more flexibility in managing their school bus fleets.
