 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 February 6, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. E. BROWN, MAHER, TAGUE, DeSTEFANO, DiPIETRO --
 read once and referred to the Committee on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to improving the trans-
 portation of children with special needs

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

 1 Section 1. Section 3635 of the education law is amended by adding a
 2 new subdivision 9 to read as follows:
 3 9. a. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, rule or regulation,
 4 where a child with special needs legally attends a school district, such
 5 child shall be provided free transportation between home and school.
 6 b. Each school district with a child with special needs shall have a
 7 children with special needs liaison who shall work with each child with
 8 special needs and the child's family to ensure that the requirements of
 9 this subdivision are met.
 10 c. Such transportation shall not exceed one and one-half hours,
 11 including flexible wait times at homes to account for such children with
 12 special needs potentially requiring more time to get on and off of
 13 transportation. If the transportation cannot be completed within this
 14 timeframe, the school district shall either: (i) reduce the transporta-
 15 tion time by adding more transportation within the district; or (ii)
 16 reimburse, in full, the caretaker of the child for any and all transpor-
 17 tation expenses for the safe and timely transportation of the child to
 18 and from the school including, but not limited to, fuel costs, mileage,
 19 tolls, and fares.
 20 d. Such transportation used by the school district to transport chil-
 21 dren with special needs shall include cameras and bus tracking systems
 22 so the child and the child's family can know when the bus will arrive at
 23 the home.

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

 3 opmental disabilities.
