AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to require that school bus driver applicants have a "clean driving record" at the time of application. The bill defines a "clean driving record" as having: (1) no traffic violations in the previous year; (2) no more than 3 major traffic violations in the previous 5 years; (3) no more than 5 minor traffic violations in the previous 5 years; and (4) no more than 3 at-fault accidents in the previous 5 years. This change aims to ensure that school bus drivers have a strong safety record, which is important for transporting students.
