Extends limit for nonpublic school busing to 30 miles in Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Ocean, Salem, Sussex, and Warren Counties, and requires existing bus stops to be used.

This bill extends the maximum distance for state-funded transportation to nonpublic (private) school students from 20 miles to 30 miles in specific New Jersey counties: Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Ocean, Salem, Sussex, and Warren. It requires school districts to provide bus transportation or a cash payment (if bids exceed state limits) for eligible students living within 30 miles of their nonpublic school. Students must use existing bus stops serving those living within 20 miles of the school. The state covers all costs for eligible transportation or payments, moving this provision from temporary annual appropriations to permanent law.
