What this bill does
Starting in 2028, this bill would let charter schools become eligible for state transportation funding, which current law bars them from receiving. Until then, it would require a study of transportation funding options, with recommendations due by 2028, and shift responsibility for that funding from the Legislative Fiscal Analyst to the State Board of Education.

From the bill's latest official fiscal note, counting the state's tax funds (General, Income Tax, Education, Uniform School, and Transportation) in the first full budget year after the session. Some bills take effect partway through that year, so later years can be larger; the note shows each year. Household count: U.S. Census Bureau. An average is a starting point, not your bill.
