Permits jointure commission to provide transportation services on school buses it owns or leases to local school districts without public bidding.
This bill amends New Jersey law to allow jointure commissions (special public entities formed by multiple school districts) to provide school bus transportation services to local school districts without following public bidding requirements. Currently, such commissions must bid for new contracts when serving districts they don't already include as members. The change applies specifically to commissions that own or lease school buses, streamlining how they contract with districts they serve. This policy update removes a procedural barrier for these commissions while maintaining existing rules for other transportation providers.
