The bill, titled "An Act creating a special commission to examine school bus safety," proposes the establishment of a special commission in Massachusetts to assess and recommend updates to school bus safety standards and the licensing and training requirements for school bus operators. The commission will evaluate potential improvements, including the incorporation of safety sensors, additional school bus monitors, enhanced operator training, and other necessary equipment or operational standards to ensure student safety during bus rides, boarding, disembarking, and waiting at bus stops. The commission is required to submit its findings and legislative recommendations by December 1, 2026.

The commission will be composed of various appointed members, including co-chairs from the Senate and House of Representatives, representatives from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Public Health, and members from several educational and transportation organizations. The bill also introduces the name "Summers Law" to refer to this act. Additionally, the bill includes an insertion of "Homeland Security" in the context of the Public Safety committee, indicating a broader scope of safety considerations.
