California Air Resources Board

Summary 

Would have added to the definition of a Local Education Agency (LEA), for the purposes of Proposition 98 funding, a private contractor with ownership of title for a schoolbus that is used to provide transportation services for a school district, county office of education, or charter school. This bill would have also required CARB to establish a minimum time period for a private contractor to provide transportation services to an LEA with a zero-emission schoolbus purchased using the specified grant money and to develop a depreciation schedule that determines the amount of money to be repaid to CARB by the private contractor, if the private contractor ceases to contract with an LEA to provide transportation services before the minimum time period elapses. Was not heard in the Assembly Transportation Committee.
