Introduced Text

Missouri HB2849 mandates that all newly purchased or contracted school buses in school districts must be zero-emission vehicles starting January 1.

Missouri HB2849 requires school districts to transition to zero-emission school buses for all new purchases or contracts starting January 1, 2037. If a school district cannot meet this requirement due to terrain or route constraints, it may request a one-time extension of up to five years. The Department of Natural Resources, in consultation with the Missouri Air Conservation Commission, will evaluate and grant these extensions based on the district's demonstration of infeasibility.
