HB5375

Illinois HB5375 regulates the use of multifunction school activity buses for transporting students.

Illinois HB5375 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to specify conditions under which multifunction school activity buses (MFSAB) can be used for transporting students. The bill mandates that students in grades K-12, including those with individualized education programs (IEP), can only be transported in school buses or vehicles described in the code if the driver holds a valid school bus permit. Exceptions include students in grades 9-12 or those with IEPs attending certain schools, who can be transported in MFSABs for curriculum-related or career-related activities.
