Provides that at no time shall a cause of action lie against a school board for awarding a pupil transportation contract per the standards set forth in the provisions of the School Code concerning the award of contracts to the lowest responsible bidder unless the cause of action is based on fraudulent conduct (instead of providing that at no time shall a contractor providing for the transportation of pupils execute a cause of action against a school board for accepting a bid meeting the lowest responsible bidder standard set forth in the provisions of the School Code concerning the award of contracts to the lowest responsible bidder).
