New York S09667 delays the zero-emission school bus mandate by five years.

New York S09667 amends the education law to delay the zero-emission school bus mandate. It requires school districts to only purchase or lease zero-emission school buses by July 1, 2032, and to only operate and maintain zero-emission school buses by July 1, 2040. The commissioner may waive the contracting requirements if it is determined that obtaining zero-emission school buses and charging or fueling infrastructure in the United States would be unreasonable or increase costs.
