Increase on-schedule reimbursement rates for school transportation

The bill was renamed from LC 2285 to HB 405, indicating a change in its legislative status from a committee substitute to the official House version. The most significant substantive change is the increase in reimbursement rates for school transportation, raising the maximum per-mile payment for buses of all sizes and increasing the rate for non-bus mileage. These financial adjustments are designed to lower property taxes for school districts by reducing the amount they must raise locally to cover transportation costs.
