Bill > H2037

This bill aims to equalize public school transportation fees across different municipalities in Massachusetts. It defines a "school transportation fee" as a fee that can be charged to students to ride buses to school, and a "qualifying municipality" as a city or town that sends five or more students to a regional vocational school and charges a transportation fee to its in-district students. The bill requires every regional vocational school that transports students from a qualifying municipality to collect a fee from all bussed students that is equal to the fee charged to the municipality's in-district students. The collected fees would then be remitted to the municipality and used exclusively to cover its school transportation costs.
