BUSES Act prohibits idling restrictions for over-the-road and school buses idling less than 15 minutes.
The BUSES Act amends the Clean Air Act to establish a national minimum idling standard for buses. It prohibits states from enforcing engine idling restrictions on over-the-road buses and school buses if the engine idles for less than 15 minutes. Additionally, the Act prohibits states from implementing bounty-based enforcement programs for idling violations of these buses. The Act also limits citizen suits against bus owners or operators for idling violations.
