AI Summary
This bill lowers the minimum age requirement for obtaining a school bus endorsement from 25 to 21 years old in Tennessee. Specifically, the bill amends Section 55-50-302 of the Tennessee Code to change the age qualification for individuals seeking to drive school buses. By reducing the minimum age from 25 to 21, the legislation aims to expand the pool of potential school bus drivers, potentially addressing driver shortages in the state. The bill also removes a previous subsection (e) related to the age requirement, which suggests a streamlining of the licensing process. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing ample time for implementation and for the relevant state departments to update their regulations and procedures accordingly.
