A bill for an act relating to the transportation to and from school of pupils participating in open enrollment.

This bill modifies Iowa's transportation rules for students participating in open enrollment. It removes a distance restriction for smaller school districts (under 2,000 total students), allowing them to transport students from their residence to school regardless of proximity to the assigned school in the sending district, as long as the student's home is closer to the receiving district's school. For larger districts (2,000+ students), the bill maintains existing requirements (like contiguous district boundaries and prior vehicle use) but removes the distance limitation for transportation. The changes directly affect open enrollment students and the school districts that transport them. The bill does not alter the existing agreement requirement between sending and receiving districts for transportation.
