Bill Summary

This bill requires a person with a school bus endorsement to retake the school bus endorsement knowledge test and the school bus endorsement skills test every five years in order to maintain the school bus endorsement. A person who is 70 years of age or older is required, under the bill, to retake the school bus endorsement knowledge test and school bus endorsement skills test every year in order to maintain the school bus endorsement.

AI Summary

This bill requires school bus drivers to retake specific tests to maintain their school bus endorsement, which is a certification allowing them to drive school buses. Currently, drivers with a school bus endorsement generally do not need to retake knowledge and skills tests for renewal. However, this bill mandates that all individuals with a school bus endorsement must pass a school bus endorsement knowledge test and a school bus endorsement skills test every five years. For drivers who are 70 years of age or older, this requirement is more frequent, necessitating them to pass these same tests annually. The "chief administrator" refers to the head of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, who is responsible for administering these tests and licensing. This change aims to ensure ongoing competency and safety for school bus operators.
