relative to the responsibility of local school districts to provide transportation for pupils in kindergarten.

HB 319 would have required local school districts to provide transportation for kindergarten students. This bill directly affects public school districts and kindergarten pupils in the state, mandating that districts arrange transportation as a standard service. The bill's key provision was a clear requirement for school districts to cover this transportation need, replacing previous arrangements. The bill passed both legislative chambers in May 2025 but was vetoed by Governor Ayotte on June 3, 2025, preventing it from becoming law.
