begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to ensure that all students have a safe, efficient way to travel to school.  Specifically, this bill requires the Department of Education (DOE), to the extent of available funding, to provide or subsidize the cost of suitable transportation to and from school for public school students in kindergarten to grade 12 and special education classes, except for those who attend public schools located in the Honolulu departmental district.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2452, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2452, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
