The bill proposes the repeal of the requirement that mandates the retirement of type III vehicles after 12 years of service. Specifically, it targets Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 169.454, subdivision 2, which currently prohibits the use of vehicles model year 2007 or older for transporting school children, unless they meet certain federal safety standards.

By removing this provision, the bill allows for the continued use of older type III vehicles, potentially increasing the flexibility for transportation options in schools. The effective date of this repeal will be the day following the final enactment of the bill.
