Illinois SB2623 expands the use of multifunction school-activity buses for transporting students in grades 7 through 12.

Illinois SB2623 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to allow multifunction school-activity buses (MFSAB) to transport students in grades 7 through 12 for curriculum-related or career-related activities, excluding regular home-to-school routes. The bill specifies that MFSABs must be operated by a driver with a valid school bus permit and adhere to certain vehicle requirements. It also mandates that school districts insure against any loss or liability from the use of these vehicles. This change expands the previous restriction to grades 9 through 12.
