RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.

SB 1199 allows school districts and transportation providers to use motorcoaches, small buses, and vans for student transportation services, provided specific safety and operational conditions are met. This directly affects school districts managing student transportation routes and private contractors offering such services. The bill’s key provision expands vehicle options beyond traditional school buses while requiring compliance with established safety standards. It aims to provide flexibility in transportation planning without altering existing safety regulations.
