SCHOOL BUS STOPS: MOBILE HOME PARK - S.B. 479: COMMITTEE SUMMARY

sans-serif">Senate Bill 479 (as introduced 5-14-03)

Sponsor: Senator Raymond E. Basham

Committee: Education


Date Completed: 10-2-03


CONTENT


The bill would amend the Pupil Transportation Act to permit a school to determine the number and location of stops necessary for the receipt and discharge of pupils from school buses in a manufactured home park. The school first would have to consult with the parents of the pupils who would be affected, as well as the owners of the park.

FISCAL IMPACT


The bill would have no fiscal impact on the State.


A local school district could experience minimal increases in costs related to this legislation if the district chose to add additional stops within a manufactured home park, which the park owners presently may disallow on their property. Such increased costs would consist of the additional gasoline and other mileage-related factors needed to complete the new bus stops.
