This policy directly affects visitors, inmates, and correctional facility staff through new screening procedures.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires New York school districts to purchase or lease only zero-emission school buses (electric or hydrogen-powered with no tailpipe emissions) when buying new vehicles by July 2027. It also mandates that all components and final assembly of these buses and their charging infrastructure must be made in the U.S. unless a waiver is granted for cost or feasibility reasons. Districts facing financial hardship may receive up to two years to comply after a cost-benefit analysis, and the law includes protections preventing workforce displacement for transportation employees during the transition. The full transition to zero-emission school buses must be completed by July 2047, or when all state vehicle fleets meet this standard, whichever comes later.

The law authorizes the state attorney general to enforce it by seeking court orders to stop violations, including injunctions or declaratory relief for properties already sold or leased in violation. The policy change explicitly bans such transactions without exceptions, making them unlawful under New York law.
