Summary

Limits the power of any United States court to issue school transportation orders based on race, color, or national origin. Stipulates that only a three judge district court may issue a school assignment order based on race, color, or national origin. Requires the holding of a special hearing where specific findings in relation to such a constitutional violation must be made before a school assignment order may issue. Stays such school assignment orders until all appeals have been exhausted.
