Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §22.1-182 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§22.1-182. Use of school buses for public and commercial purposes.
The school board of any school division may enter into agreements
with any third-party logistics company, the governing body of any
county, city, or town in the school division, any state agency,
or any agency established or identified pursuant to United States Public Law
P.L. 89-73 or any law amendatory or supplemental thereto providing for the
use of the school buses of such school division by such third-party
logistics company or agency or by departments, boards, commissions,
or officers of such county, city, or town for public purposes, including
transportation for the elderly, or private purposes, except that such
third-party logistics company shall not use the school buses to provide
transportation of passengers for compensation or for residential delivery of
products for compensation. Each such agreement shall provide for
reimbursing the school board in full for the proportionate share of any and all
costs, both fixed and variable, of such buses incurred by such school board
attributable to the use of such buses pursuant to such agreement. Each such
agreement shall also require the third-party logistics company, governing body,
state agency, or agency established or identified pursuant to P.L. 89-73 or any
law amendatory or supplemental thereto to supply insurance on the school bus
that meets the minimum coverage requirements in §22.1-190. The
third-party logistics company, governing body, state agency, or
agency established or identified pursuant to United States Public Law
P.L. 89-73 or any law amendatory or supplemental thereto shall indemnify
and hold harmless the school board from any and all liability of the school
board by virtue of use of such buses pursuant to an agreement authorized
herein.
