House Bill 5137 aims to amend the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 17-16A-31, which will exempt county school buses from paying toll fees. This exemption applies to the regular use of school buses, which includes transporting students to and from school, attending school-related events such as field trips and sporting events, and driving the bus for maintenance purposes.

The bill is designed to alleviate financial burdens on school systems by ensuring that school buses can operate without incurring toll costs during their regular activities. This legislative change is intended to support the efficient transportation of students while promoting educational and extracurricular engagement.
