Hawaii SB2549 allows the Department of Education to suspend or remove school bus routes if a contractor fails to provide service for five or more.

Hawaii SB2549 addresses school bus transportation issues by allowing the Department of Education to suspend or remove routes from a contract if a contractor fails to provide service for five or more consecutive instructional days. The Department can recommend this action to the governor, who may approve it with conditions. The Department may also enter into an interim agreement with another carrier to provide transportation for the affected routes. The bill establishes a penalty for contractors who fail to provide service, with penalties deposited into the school bus fare revolving fund.
