Bill > S2370

This bill modifies the existing Massachusetts law regarding physical examinations for school bus drivers by expanding the types of licensed healthcare professionals who can conduct these required medical assessments. Specifically, the bill amends Section 8A of Chapter 90 of the General Laws to allow licensed chiropractors, in addition to licensed physicians, to perform physical examinations for school bus drivers. By adding the phrase "or licensed chiropractor" in two key places in the existing statute, the bill broadens the pool of qualified medical professionals who can certify a school bus driver's physical fitness to operate a school bus. This change could potentially make it easier for school bus drivers to obtain the necessary medical documentation by providing them with more options for where they can receive their required physical examinations.
