LB507 amends §79-	1129 to change the provisions relating to transportation expenses for children with disabilities. 
 
§79-1129 is updated to change the providing of transportati on to students with disabilities from having to res ide within the school district 
to just needing to be enrolled in that school district.   
 
 
 
FISCAL IMPACT: 
The impact would be at the school district level & cannot be determined at this time. An increase in transportation costs would factor 
into the state’s reimbursem ent of eighty percent of allowable Special Education expenses & also the calculation of the Tax Equity & 
Educational Opportunities Support Act (TEEOSA) but those costs cannot be determined at this ti	me.
