Summary

The bill removes the mandate that school buses be built with materials that pass the National School Transportation fire‑block test for seat upholstery. It changes Maryland’s Education Code but leaves the Motor Vehicle Administration responsible for adopting any fire‑safety regulations. The change would affect bus manufacturers and school districts that purchase or operate school buses.
