BILL NUMBER:S5327
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to contracts for the transportation of school children
Purpose or general idea of bill

Summary of provisions
Statement of legislative findings regarding employee protection provisions, and pension liability. This bill amends section 305 of the education law to restore employee protection provisions (EPPs) in school bus contracts in NYC.

The master seniority list is comprised of employ- ees who become unemployed as a result of reassignment of busing contracts.
