TRENTON — Yellow may no longer be the predominant color of school buses in New Jersey.
The Assembly Education Committee advanced a measure Thursday allowing ads on the outside of the buses.
The bill would not allow ads for tobacco or alcohol products or political advocacy.
The state education commissioner would get the final say about any potentially offensive ads.
Boards of education would have to use half the revenue to defray fuel costs for student busing. The other half could go toward school programs or services.
A similar bill went nowhere in the prior legislative session, but that was before Gov. Chris Christie cut $812 million from the education budget.
