Tennessee SB0408 amends tort liability protections for independent school bus contractors.
Tennessee SB0408 modifies the state's governmental tort liability law to ensure that immunity does not extend to independent school bus contractors. It mandates that contracts between local boards of education and contractors include sufficient tort liability coverage, with evidence such as a certificate of insurance listing the board as an additional insured. This change aims to protect local boards of education from liability related to school-related transportation services provided by contractors. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
