Bill > HB1758

This bill modifies the existing law regarding school bus driver certification in New Hampshire by adding an alternative pathway to obtaining a school bus driver's certificate. Currently, drivers must pass a special examination to be certified to drive a school bus. The bill now allows individuals who are already certified as school bus drivers in Vermont to receive a New Hampshire school bus driver's certificate without taking the state-specific examination. The bill also updates the language to be gender-neutral by changing "he" to "he or she" when referring to bus drivers. Additionally, the bill includes a standard provision that it will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving time for implementation and awareness. The purpose appears to be to streamline the certification process and potentially make it easier for Vermont-certified bus drivers to work in New Hampshire by recognizing their existing certification.
