Robert Peters 1/7/2025SenateSession Sine Die 105 ILCS 5/12-11.5from Ch. 122, par. 12-11.5105 ILCS 5/29-3from Ch. 122, par. 29-3105 ILCS 5/29-5from Ch. 122, par. 29-5Amends the Transportation Article of the School Code. With respect to the provision of free transportation for pupils, allows a school district to pay the public transit fees of pupils instead (rather than providing an exception for pupils for whom the school board certifies to the State Board of Education that adequate transportation for the public is available). In provisions allowing for free transportation if conditions are such that walking constitutes a serious hazard, removes the provision specifying that such transportation shall not be provided if adequate transportation for the public is available. Makes related changes. Effective July 1, 2025. 2/7/2024SenateFiled with Secretary by Sen.
