HF 3286 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Propane school bus deployment program established, report required, and money appropriated.

HF 3286 establishes a state grant program to help Minnesota school districts purchase propane-powered school buses. It directly affects school districts and transportation providers, with priority given to "prioritized school districts" (those with high poverty rates, rural locations, or tribal funding). Grants cover up to 50% of bus costs for prioritized districts and 25% for others, plus up to 50% of new propane storage equipment costs. The bill requires annual reports to the legislature on grant allocations and outcomes, with applications submitted twice yearly through a competitive process.
