Assembly Bill 371
On his last day in office, Governor Corzine vetoed,
without comment, Assembly Bill 371. If passed, the Bill
would have extended from twelve to fifteen the number
of years a school bus could be used to transport pupils.
The Bill was described by its sponsors as a way to help
school districts save money by keeping certain buses
in service longer, delaying the point at which new buses
would have to be bought. Transit type buses whose GVW
exceed 25,000 pounds were not included in this legislation.
The Bill passed the Legislature unanimously. The Legislature
that passed it, however, has ended its term, so the
veto can not be overridden and is final. In order to
be reconsidered, the Bill must be reintroduced in both
houses and go through the Committee process. Both the
Assembly and the Senate would have to vote on the Bill
again.
