New York A00450 removes the requirement for school boards to find cost savings when entering into piggyback contracts for student transportation.

New York A00450, known as the "school bus route efficiency act," amends the education law to allow boards of education to enter into piggyback contracts with other school districts for student transportation without needing to find cost savings. A piggyback contract involves one district transporting students to a location outside their district, while another district transports its own students to the same or nearby locations via a contract with a private transportation contractor.
