The bill amends the Revised School Code of 1976 by adding a new section, 1321a, which mandates that the Michigan legislature must appropriate a minimum of $125 million each fiscal year, starting with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. This funding is specifically designated for the transportation of pupils, as outlined in section 22l of the state school aid act of 1979.

This legislative change aims to ensure consistent financial support for pupil transportation, thereby enhancing access to education for students across the state. The requirement for a guaranteed appropriation reflects a commitment to addressing the transportation needs of students in Michigan's public schools.
