FL H0001

Amends Florida Statutes section 1006.25 to authorize district school boards to permit family and child-friendly commercial advertisements on school bus exteriors under board-approved policies.

Requires advertisers to reimburse school districts for all costs including retrofitting buses, storage, attachment, and maintenance.

Prohibits advertisements for alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs, hallucinogenic substances, discriminatory content, sexual material, abortion-related content, political content, religious establishment, gambling, and illegal activities.

Limits advertisements to maximum 2 feet high by 6 feet long, prohibits digital or electronic signage, restricts placement to avoid safety equipment interference, and allows no more than two advertisements per bus.

Allocates advertising revenue as 50 percent for transportation, 15 percent for driver education programs (or bicycle/pedestrian safety if no driver education offered), and 35 percent for other school district programs; buses violating requirements must be withdrawn from service.
