Bill > HF4063

This bill modifies several regulations concerning school buses, including clarifying that school buses can be used for training purposes for school employees and those under contract with schools, and it updates the rules for when vehicles must stop for a school bus by adding a provision for prewarning amber lights to signal that flashing red lights and a stop are imminent. It also requires all school buses to obtain a USDOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) number for tracking inspections, modifies the requirements for first aid kits on school buses by specifying that newer models (2027 and newer) must meet national standards while older models can use a ten-unit kit or national standards, and all type III vehicles must meet national standards by 2030, and it exempts licensed commercial driver training schools from certain restrictions on using school bus-like vehicles for training, provided specific safety equipment is not used on public roads.
