Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to HB 809 allows for school-related advertising, in addition to commercial ads, to be displayed on the sides of school buses. However, it maintains restrictions on what types of advertisements are permissible, ensuring they are not offensive and do not obstruct important information such as the school name or bus number. This change matters because it opens up new opportunities for schools to promote events and employment while ensuring that advertising remains appropriate for students.
