Mississippi HB1318 revises student transportation rules, allowing non-school buses for students under certain conditions.
Mississippi HB1318 amends the state's transportation rules for students, allowing local school boards to use vehicles other than school buses for transporting students to and from school or school-related events. These vehicles must meet federal safety standards and be designed to transport fewer than ten students. The bill also allows the use of school buses for jury functions, special events, and emergencies, provided it does not interfere with regular student transportation. The driver must hold a valid license and comply with the school district's safe driver plan.
