Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to a fee charged by a school district for the transportation of a student who lives within two miles of the school the student attends.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the existing Education Code to change how school districts can charge transportation fees for students living within two miles of their school. Currently, school districts are restricted in charging transportation fees, but the bill revises these restrictions by allowing districts to charge a reasonable transportation fee if they do not receive specific state funding under Section 48.151 and do not participate in a county transportation system. The bill specifically removes language that previously limited a district's ability to charge a transportation fee for students living within two miles of their school. The amendment will apply beginning with the 2025-2026 school year and will take effect either immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in the legislature, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not receive the necessary immediate-effect votes. The bill represents a technical adjustment to school district transportation funding rules, potentially giving districts more flexibility in charging transportation fees for students who live relatively close to their school.
