More school rides for medically fragile students

The law applies beginning with the first full school year after October 4, 2024. New Jersey school boards, nonpublic school governing bodies, and State agencies can approve certified mobility-assistance vehicle technicians to transport students. Eligible school-aged children must have a life-threatening medical condition requiring more individualized and continuous care. Trips in mobility-assistance vehicles can cover travel to and from school or related school activities. Technicians are exempt from school bus driver licensing and regulation. These trips are exempt from school-bus registration, equipment, inspection, and maintenance rules. Before transporting students each year, technicians must give the Executive County Superintendent a criminal background check and evidence of a check for alcohol- or drug-related driving violations.
