The bill amends the definition of a "pupil transportation vehicle" within the General Laws, specifically in Chapter 31-22.1. The key change is that the maximum seating capacity for these vehicles is increased from eight (8) passengers to ten (10) passengers, plus the operator. This adjustment allows for a greater number of students to be transported in a single vehicle. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
