School Transportation - As introduced, extends the use of service of a conventional and Class D school bus from 200,000 miles to 230,000 miles. - Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 6 and Title 55.
This bill amends Tennessee law to extend the maximum allowable mileage for conventional and Class D school buses from 200,000 miles to 230,000 miles. It directly affects school districts and transportation providers by allowing buses to operate 30,000 additional miles before retirement, potentially reducing replacement costs. The key provision is a straightforward update to the mileage threshold in Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-6-2109, with no new requirements or funding changes. The amendment takes effect upon becoming law and applies to all eligible school buses under current regulations.
