Bill Summary
Relative to transportation of special needs students. Education.
AI Summary
This bill, known as "John's Law," aims to improve transportation safety for students with special needs. It requires that any bus driver, monitor, or qualified attendant responsible for transporting a student with a disability on a "special transportation van" (a vehicle used exclusively or primarily for this purpose) must be trained and certified in first aid, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Additionally, the bill mandates that school districts provide these personnel with a written report detailing any sensory, neurological, emotional, communication, physical, intellectual, or health impairments that may affect the student's safety during transportation, if required by the student's individualized education program or with parental consent.
