(Hartford-WTNH) _ A Senate bill would retro-fit all of the state's diesel school buses with a device that would reduce emissions to almost zero.
The bill would use $11-million of the state surplus to put the devices on all the school buses in the state.
Representatives from the Connecticut Alliance Against Diesel Pollution demonstrated the device Tuesday at the State Capitol.
Federal law requires all new diesel buses to have the exhaust cleaning device, but there are more than 4,000 old school buses in use statewide."
