Committee advances HB 1785 scheduling after agreeing superintendent remedy for repeated contractor failures
Summary
HB 1785, which would let the superintendent step in when a student-transportation contractor fails five consecutive school days, was discussed by conferees who agreed the CD1 was largely mutual and rolled the bill to April 29 for further processing.
House and Senate conferees reviewed HB 1785 HD1 SD1, a measure that would authorize the superintendent to take action when a contracted student-transportation provider fails to deliver service for five straight school days. Sponsors indicated the committee was close on language and that no general‑fund request is included in the current CD1.
The House sponsor said the conference draft largely reflects the Senate-conformed version and that the committees planned to move the item to the 3:00 PM agenda on April 29 so members could finalize timing and placement. No final vote or amendment took place in the session; the bill was scheduled to return for further consideration.
