 Introduced by M. of A. SOLAGES, LAVINE -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to piggyback bus trans-
 portation contracts

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "school bus
 2 route efficiency act".
 3 § 2. Paragraph g of subdivision 14 of section 305 of the education
 4 law, as added by section 12-a of part YYY of chapter 59 of the laws of
 5 2019, is amended to read as follows:
 6 g. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subdivision, section one
 7 hundred three of the general municipal law, or any other provision of
 8 law to the contrary, the board of education shall be authorized to enter
 9 into a piggyback contract with another school district that transports
 10 students pursuant to a contract with a private transportation contrac-
 11 tor, provided that the board finds that the contract cost is appropriate
 12 [and entry into a piggyback contract will result in a cost savings to
 13 the school district]. For purposes of this paragraph, a "piggyback
 14 contract" means a contract for the transportation of students that: (1)
 15 provides transportation for one school district to a location outside
 16 the students' school district of residence [to which another school
 17 district is already providing transportation to its own students through
 18 an existing contract with a private transportation contractor, other
 19 than a cooperatively bid contract]; (2) provides transportation for
 20 another school district for its own students to the same or nearby
 21 locations through a contract with a private transportation contractor;
 22 (3) is entered into by the private transportation contractor and each
 23 school district involved; and [(3)] (4) provides for transportation in
 24 accordance with the terms and conditions of such [existing] transporta-
 25 tion contract.
 26 § 3. This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding
 27 the date upon which it shall have become a law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
