HB 1161 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to use of the public school infrastructure fund for energy efficient school buses.

This bill allows the Public School Infrastructure Fund to be used for purchasing energy-efficient school buses and other student transportation vehicles. It achieves this by amending state law to explicitly include these vehicles in the list of eligible projects the governor can approve, alongside other school infrastructure needs. The change ensures that funds previously restricted to building projects can now support greener transportation options for students. The legislation took effect on August 13, 2024, following its signing by the governor.
