A 8440 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to education transportation contracts

This bill amends education law to require school districts in cities with at least one million inhabitants to include specific provisions in their school transportation contracts. These provisions mandate the retention or preferential hiring of school bus workers, such as operators, mechanics, dispatchers, and attendants. It also ensures the preservation of their wages, health, welfare, retirement benefits, and seniority when they are hired under these new contract terms. This applies to workers who become unemployed or furloughed due to changes in these transportation contracts.
