Delays the zero-emission school bus mandate

Summary

The bill amends the education law so that, by July 1 2027, every school district must purchase or lease only zero‑emission buses and must require any transportation contractors to do the same. It adds a requirement that the buses and charging infrastructure be largely made in the United States, though the commissioner may waive that rule under specific cost or availability concerns. By July 1 2035, districts must also operate and maintain only zero‑emission buses, and contractors must provide only such buses.
