fleet or retrofitting existing schoolbuses to achieve reductions in
emissions.



17921.  A school district or county office of education that

paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 44243 of the Health and
Safety Code, or from any other source. The school district or county
office of education shall contribute a majority of the money
deposited in its schoolbus emissions reduction fund.



17922.  State funds may, upon appropriation by the Legislature, be
distributed to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for
distribution to districts and county offices of education for the

zero-emission schoolbuses or the retrofit of existing schoolbuses. If
there are multiple private sector contributors, each of those
contributors shall receive a share of the credits allocated in

all of the following:
   (a) The manner in which school districts or county offices of
education may obtain funding from private and public entities for
deposit into a school district or county office of education
schoolbus emissions reduction fund.
   (b) The methods for determining the quantity and allocation of
emission reduction credits generated from a new bus that replaces an
existing bus or from a new or retrofitted bus that represents an
expansion of fleet capacity.
   (c) The methods by which school districts or county offices of
education located in the South Coast Air Quality Management District
may obtain funds from cities pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision
(b) of Section 44243 of the Health and Safety Code.

federal safety standards established in 1977 shall be offered for
sale to school districts to replace schoolbuses that do not meet the
federal safety standards, at a purchase price not to exceed the
amount of the school district or county office of education's
contribution specified in Section 17921, plus appropriate
administrative costs. This section shall not apply if the school
district or county office of education certifies a continued need for
the schoolbus being replaced.
