 4 d. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs a, b and c of this
 5 subdivision, the board of education or the trustee of a district and a
 6 contractor providing pupil transportation services to such district may
 7 amend a contract for pupil transportation services upon a finding that
 8 such amendment is necessary to comply with any federal, state or local
 9 law, rule or regulation imposed after the execution of such contract, or
 10 to enhance the safety of pupil transportation, as determined by the
 11 board or trustee subject to the approval of the commissioner pursuant to
 12 regulations which shall require demonstrable enhancements in pupil safe-
 13 ty and/or increased savings consistent with maintaining pupil safety.

 18 established by the contractor that there has been at least an equivalent
 19 increase in the amount of such contractor's cost of operation. The
 20 commissioner shall not approve such an amendment if the commissioner

 23 or any other provision of law, or fails to increase or maintain the
 24 safety of pupil transportation.
