Mark Udall: “I rise in support of TEA LU. However, I am disappointed that it does not include language to close a dangerous loophole…”

On the recordApril 1, 2004
I rise in support of TEA LU. However, I am disappointed that it does not include language to close a dangerous loophole in a 30-year-old law that allows school districts to use 15-passenger vans to transport students to and from athletic trips and other school activities. I have introduced legislation, H.R. 1641, to remedy the problem. It would prohibit the purchase, rental or lease of 15-passenger vans for use to transport students. I understand that the ranking member is amenable to working with me and others in conference to ensure we put an end to this practice that puts schoolchildren's lives on the line every day.
