SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

School buses; display of American flag decals. Allows local school boards, notwithstanding any regulation to the contrary, to display decals depicting the flag of the United States on the sides and rear of school buses as long as any such decal does not obstruct the name of the school division or the number of the school bus and is no larger than 100 square inches.

Current Board regulations (8 VAC 20-70-210) prohibit "use of posters, stickers, or advertising material of any kind" on school buses and provide for lettering for the identification of buses (8 VAC 20-70-1050).
