SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
Article - Education
5-205.
(a) The State shall distribute grants as provided under this section to the
county boards to provide transportation services for public school students and
disabled children for whom transportation is to be provided under § 8-410 of this
article. Appropriations for student transportation shall be budgeted in a separate
budget category as provided in § 5-101 of this article. If the amount that is
appropriated to a county under this section in a fiscal year is more than the actual
cost of providing student transportation services in that county, a county board may
apply any excess funds to costs of pupil transportation in subsequent years. None of
these funds may be paid to or claimed by any subdivision, nor may any of these funds
be reverted to any subdivision. A county board may not transfer State revenues from
the student transportation category to any other category as a result of this section.
