Permits jointure commission to provide transportation services on school buses it owns or leases to local school districts without public bidding.

This bill (A 2484) amends New Jersey law to allow jointure commissions (regional education entities) to provide school bus transportation services to local school districts without public bidding, specifically when the commission owns or leases the buses. It removes the current requirement for public bidding when a jointure commission serves districts that were not members as of January 1, 2004. The key change permits these commissions to offer transportation services directly, aligning them with other public entities like educational services commissions under existing rules. This affects jointure commissions and the school districts they serve, streamlining the process for bus-based transportation contracts.
