Indiana HB1059 allows school corporations to display commercial advertising on school buses if specific policy requirements are met.

Indiana HB1059 amends the Indiana Code to permit school corporations to display commercial advertising on school buses they own. This is contingent on the governing body adopting a policy that includes specific requirements. The policy must specify the design of the advertisements, restrict the types of products and content that can be advertised, and outline the locations and sizes of the advertisements. The policy must also establish standards for selling and approving the advertisements and designate individuals with the authority to do so. Effective July 1, 2026.
