Bill Summary

This bill permits jointure commissions to provide transportation services on school buses it owns or leases to local school districts without public bidding. Under current law, a jointure commission providing transportation services on school buses that it owns or leases are subject to public bidding requirements for any public school districts that were not member districts of the jointure commission as of January 1, 2004. This bill authorizes jointure commissions to provide transportation services in the same manner as certain other public entities providing transportation to pupils using school buses that they own or lease. These changes will allow jointure commissions to provide transportations services in a more cost effective manner.

AI Summary

This bill allows jointure commissions, which are entities formed by multiple school districts to share resources and services, to provide transportation services using school buses they own or lease to local school districts without needing to go through a public bidding process. Previously, jointure commissions were required to bid out these services to school districts that were not members as of January 1, 2004. This change aligns jointure commissions with other public entities that can already provide transportation without public bidding, aiming to make the process more cost-effective.
