The bill amends the definition of a "pupil transportation vehicle" within the General Laws, specifically in Chapter 31-22.1. The new definition specifies that such vehicles are constructed to seat not more than ten (10) passengers plus the operator, increasing the previous limit of eight (8) passengers. This change is intended to accommodate the transportation needs of students along fixed school routes. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
