Bill > HF4063

This bill modifies regulations concerning school buses in Minnesota by expanding the definition of a school bus to include vehicles used for training purposes for school employees, requiring all school buses to have a USDOT (United States Department of Transportation) number for tracking inspections, and updating first aid kit requirements. Specifically, vehicles model year 2027 and newer must carry a first aid kit that meets the National School Transportation Specifications and Procedures (NSTSP), while older vehicles can continue to use a minimum ten-unit kit or an NSTSP-compliant one, with all Type III vehicles needing an NSTSP-compliant kit by January 1, 2030. Additionally, the bill clarifies that licensed commercial driver training schools can use buses for training purposes on public roads, provided their stop-signal arms and warning lights are not used.
