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 no more than ten (10) passengers plus the operator, increasing the previous limit of eight (8) passengers. This change allows for a larger number of students to be transported along fixed school routes, as required by law or regulation.

The act will take effect immediately upon passage, enabling school committees to utilize these larger vehicles for student transportation services as outlined in existing regulations.
