Alters date by which school districts notify parents of nonpublic school students of eligibility for bus transportation or aid in-lieu-of transportation payment from August 1 to July 15.*

This bill changes the deadline for school districts to notify parents of nonpublic school students about eligibility for bus transportation or transportation payments, moving it from August 1 to July 1 before the school year begins. It directly affects school districts responsible for nonpublic school transportation and the parents/guardians of those students. The key provision amends existing law to require earlier notification, giving families an additional month to plan transportation arrangements. This is a procedural adjustment focused solely on timing, with no changes to eligibility criteria or funding amounts.
