Maddy summaryHD 2256 modifies Massachusetts' regional school transportation funding by removing the requirement for annual appropriations. It ensures reimbursement payments to regional school districts are automatic and no longer depend on yearly budget votes. The bill mandates that monthly payments must equal at least 1/12th of the district's prior year's transportation spending. This directly affects regional school districts by providing more predictable funding for student transportation costs. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
