Bill > S2849

This bill allows individual school districts to seek reimbursement from state funds for student transportation costs if they use their own buses or vendors and can do so at a lower cost than the established statewide system, which is a unified system for all students designed to reduce costs and improve efficiency. These districts would submit their transportation expenses to the department of elementary and secondary education for reimbursement, similar to how costs are handled within the statewide system. The bill also specifies that it will become effective immediately upon its passage.
