AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- TRANSPORTATION OF SCHOOL PUPILS BEYOND CITY AND TOWN LIMITS

This bill reorganizes school bus transportation zones in Rhode Island by moving the towns of Warren and Bristol from Region III to Region V. The change affects students in these towns who rely on public school buses, as their designated service area will shift to align with neighboring communities in the new region. Effective July 1, 2026, the legislation updates the official list of towns assigned to each transportation district without altering the rules for how bus services are provided or paid for.
