The bill amends various sections of Florida Statutes related to K-12 school transportation, specifically focusing on the requirements for school districts to provide transportation to students in kindergarten through grade 12. It mandates that transportation must be provided for students living more than 1 mile from the nearest appropriate school and requires parental written consent for all transportation provided by the school district. Additionally, the bill introduces new requirements for school bus stops and transportation routes, ensuring that stops are within 1,000 feet of a student's home and that routes are the fastest and most efficient. It also stipulates the use of artificial intelligence programs to optimize transportation routes, with penalties for districts that fail to comply.

Furthermore, the bill revises the criteria for determining hazardous walking conditions for students, expanding the definition to include various safety factors such as proximity to traffic and the presence of sidewalks. It requires governmental entities to conduct inspections of hazardous conditions within 72 hours of a request and allows students affected by such conditions to continue receiving transportation. The bill aims to enhance the safety and efficiency of school transportation while ensuring that students' rights are protected. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
