This bill proposes the repeal of the requirement that type III vehicles, which are used for transporting school children, must be retired after 12 years of service. Specifically, it repeals Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 169.454, subdivision 2, which previously mandated that vehicles aged 12 years or older could not be utilized for this purpose unless they met certain federal safety standards.

The bill includes an effective date clause stating that the repeal will take effect the day following its final enactment. By removing this age restriction, the legislation allows for older type III vehicles to continue being used for school transportation, provided they comply with the necessary safety standards.
