Bill Summary
Use of school buses for public purposes by local governing bodies; insurance reimbursement. Permits any local governing body that use school buses for certain public purposes pursuant to an agreement with a school board to reimburse the school board in full for the proportionate share of any insurance costs, both fixed and variable, of such buses incurred by such school board that are attributable to the use of such buses pursuant to such agreement in lieu of the existing statutory requirement for such a local governing body to supply sufficient insurance for such school buses.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing law regarding the use of school buses for public purposes by local governing bodies, such as counties, cities, or towns, when they have an agreement with a school board. Previously, these local governing bodies were required to provide their own insurance for the school buses they used. This bill allows them to instead fully reimburse the school board for their proportional share of the insurance costs, both fixed and variable, that are related to the buses' use under the agreement. This change provides an alternative to the previous requirement of supplying their own insurance.
