HB 1205 -- Motor Fuel Tax Exemption for School Buses Sponsor: Page This bill authorizes an exemption from motor fuel tax for fuel used in school buses by school districts or persons contracted to provide school bus services. The exemption will be provided to the district as a refund of the tax, regardless of whether the district paid the tax or the tax was paid by persons contracted with the district to provide school bus services. The provisions of the bill only apply to districts that enter into an agreement with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to purchase only new school buses beginning January 1, 2008, that are equipped with lap-shoulder safety belts on each passenger seat.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
