1 AN ACT concerning education.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section
5 29-6.1 as follows:
6 (105 ILCS 5/29-6.1) (from Ch. 122, par. 29-6.1)
7 Sec. 29-6.1. Contracts for transportation. Subject to
8 Section 6-106.11 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, school boards
9 may enter into contracts for any period of time deemed
10 appropriate by those school boards up to 3 years for
11 transportation of pupils to and from school; however, no
12 contract, inclusive of any proposed renewals, may exceed 10
13 years. All contracts for a period of time greater than 5 years
14 that do not include the use of electric vehicles for pupil
15 transportation shall include a termination option after 5
16 years. Nothing in this Section prohibits contract opener
17 clauses for any purpose from being included in the contract. A
18 contract for pupil transportation that utilizes a significant
19 percentage of electric vehicles may be entered into by a
20 school board for up to 15 years if the contract relies on
21 capital or infrastructure purchases or improvements that
22 cannot reasonably be justified in a shorter-term contract.
23 Such contracts may be extended for up to 2 additional years by
