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. By defining how allocations are calculated and how excess funds are handled, the measure aims to ensure adequate funding for student travel.
