House Bill 593, sponsored by Doggett, amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding school buses. Specifically, it modifies the mileage requirement for school buses by increasing the limit from "two hundred thousand (200,000) miles" to "two hundred thirty thousand (230,000) miles." This change aims to extend the operational lifespan of school buses, allowing them to remain in service for a longer period before needing replacement.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare in its implementation. This adjustment reflects a recognition of the need for more flexible standards regarding school bus usage and maintenance.
