Bill Summary

For legislation to require medical exams for certain school bus drivers. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill requires that certain school bus drivers undergo medical examinations conducted by a medical examiner who is certified and listed on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners, a federal program that ensures medical examiners meet specific standards for assessing the health of commercial drivers, instead of just any licensed physician, and that these examinations must occur within a six-month period prior to the driver's license renewal, an increase from the previous three-month timeframe.
