SB 467 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Transportation: school vehicles; requirements for pupil transportation; modify. Amends sec. 10 of 1990 PA 187 (MCL 257.1810) & adds sec. 10b.

SB 467 amends Michigan's school transportation law to update safety requirements for school buses and establish new rules for schools contracting with public transit agencies to transport students. It requires all school buses to meet federal safety standards and prohibits using non-school buses with 11+ seats for student transport (except special cases). For public transit contracts, the bill mandates written agreements covering driver background checks, strict safety protocols (like activating amber lights 200 feet before stops), route safety, and mandatory vehicle inspections before use. These provisions directly affect schools, public transit agencies, and students by setting clear safety standards for alternative transportation options.
