Relating to a highway toll exemption for public school buses.
SB 2895, filed in the Texas Legislature, creates a toll exemption for public school buses transporting students to or from school or school-related activities. The bill amends the Transportation Code to require toll project entities to waive toll fees for qualifying school buses on these specific routes, eliminating registration fee requirements for toll payment. This directly affects public school districts, school bus operators, and toll authorities managing highway toll projects. The exemption takes effect September 1, 2025, and applies only to school-related travel routes, not general bus operations.
