Assemblywoman Soria’s EV-School Bus Extension Bill Approved by Education Committee

Will Move onto Transportation Committee

SACRAMENTO, CA – Assemblywoman Esmeralda Soria’s EV School Bus Extension Bill(AB 1111),passed through the Assembly Education Committee today. 

AB 1111 seeks to address challenges that local educational agencies (LEAs) face in adopting zero-emission school buses by the state mandated deadline of 2035. AB 1111 extends the deadline to 2045 for small rural school districts, adds infrastructure challenges and fire risks to the list of existing exemptions, and provides flexibility to an existing school bus scrapping program.
