HB 379 Kentucky House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to school district use of autonomous vehicles.

HB 379 prohibits Kentucky school districts from using fully autonomous vehicles (self-driving cars) to transport students, either as school buses or for any other student transportation purpose. This law directly affects all public school districts in Kentucky that might consider adopting such technology for student travel. The bill amends state law to explicitly ban this use, with no exceptions for school transportation. It does not impact other uses of autonomous vehicles on public roads.
