Bill > HF303

This bill modifies Minnesota Statutes regarding third-party testing programs for drivers, expanding the existing rules to include transit operators in addition to school districts and school bus companies. Specifically, the bill allows transit operators that are part of a third-party testing program to enter into agreements with other transit operators to test each other's bus driver employees. The bill permits these testing programs to be reimbursed by the transit operator whose drivers are being tested, and requires that any such agreement be submitted to the commissioner for approval. The certified third-party tester must be employed by the testing program providing the services. While the bill's title references perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in safety-related items for juveniles operating all-terrain vehicles or dirt bikes, the actual text of the bill focuses solely on driver testing agreements. The changes will take effect the day after final enactment.
