H.R. 10782: Clean School Bus Reauthorization Act

This bill would extend the federal Clean School Bus Program for another five years. The current law authorizes the program for 2022 through 2026; this bill would change that to 2027 through 2031.

In practical terms, the bill would keep the program available for schools and school districts that want to replace older school buses with newer buses that are cleaner to operate. The bill itself does not create a new program, set funding levels, or change how the program works; it simply updates the dates in the law so the program can continue beyond 2026.

What changes

• Renames nothing and leaves the program structure in place.
• Extends the statutory authorization period for the Clean School Bus Program from 2022–2026 to 2027–2031.
• Allows the federal program to continue operating during that later period, subject to future appropriations and agency administration.

What does not change

• No new grant amounts are set in the bill.
• No eligibility rules are changed in the text provided.
• No requirements for bus manufacturers, school districts, or states are revised here.
• No tax provisions or enforcement provisions are added.
