Bill 118 s 5625, also known as the Clean School Bus Reauthorization Act, is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 in order to reauthorize the Clean School Bus program. The Clean School Bus program is a federal initiative that provides funding and support to help school districts replace older, more polluting school buses with newer, cleaner models.

By reauthorizing this program, the bill seeks to ensure that more school districts have access to funding and resources to upgrade their bus fleets and protect the health of students and communities.

In addition to reauthorizing the Clean School Bus program, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to energy efficiency and environmental protection. These provisions may include measures to promote the use of alternative fuels, improve the energy efficiency of school buses, and support research and development of cleaner transportation technologies. Overall, Bill 118 s 5625 represents a bipartisan effort to address environmental and public health concerns related to school bus emissions, while also promoting energy efficiency and innovation in the transportation sector. If passed, this legislation could have a positive impact on the health and well-being of students, drivers, and communities who rely on school buses for transportation.
