AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee state law regarding school bus usage by extending the allowable service miles for conventional and Class D school buses from 200,000 miles to 230,000 miles. Specifically, the bill modifies Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-6-2109(b)(2), which governs the maximum mileage for school buses before they must be retired or replaced. By increasing the mileage limit by 30,000 miles, the legislation aims to provide school districts with more flexibility in maintaining their bus fleets, potentially reducing transportation costs by allowing buses to remain in service longer. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by potentially helping school districts manage their transportation resources more efficiently.
