This bill amends the definition of a "Pupil Transportation Vehicle" in the General Laws. Currently, a pupil transportation vehicle is defined as a motor vehicle designed to seat not more than eight passengers, including the operator. This bill would change the limit to ten passengers, including the operator. The purpose of this amendment is to allow for the transportation of small numbers of students along fixed school transportation routes. The bill would take effect upon passage.
