Bill > S2086

This bill proposes several changes to the testing and licensing requirements for operators of school buses in Massachusetts. Specifically, it requires school bus drivers to take an English proficiency section as part of the written test, complete a minimum of two hours of pre-service training before receiving a school pupil transport certificate, and complete a minimum of 10 hours of in-service training in their first year of operation and a minimum of 8 hours each year after. The bill also mandates detailed record-keeping requirements for the training programs, including maintaining a bond book with trainee information and lesson details, as well as individual trainee records, which must be available for inspection by the registry of motor vehicles or law enforcement officials.
