Bill > H3006

This bill amends the licensing requirements for school bus drivers in Massachusetts. Key provisions include: 1) Prohibiting individuals who are sex offenders, have been convicted of drug offenses, or have multiple DUI convictions from transporting vocational school students. 2) Increasing the lookback period for DUI convictions from 5 to 15 years for school bus driver licenses. 3) Requiring the immediate suspension or revocation of a school bus driver's license if they are charged or convicted with a DUI offense. The goal of these changes is to enhance school bus safety by ensuring that individuals with certain criminal histories are not permitted to operate school buses, especially those transporting more vulnerable vocational students.
