Summary
The bill changes how New Mexico’s school transportation money can be used, mandating that it pay for the full cost of bus routes, including the miles driven to pick up the first student and return after the last drop‑off. It applies to K‑12 public schools, state‑chartered charter schools, and certain preschool children with disabilities, as well as transportation for vocational programs.
