AI Summary

This bill proposes several changes to the testing and licensing requirements for school bus operators in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would require school bus driver applicants to pass an English proficiency test as part of the written exam, complete a minimum of 2 hours of pre-service training before receiving a school pupil transport certificate, and complete 10 hours of in-service training in their first year and 8 hours each year thereafter. The bill also mandates that companies maintain detailed training records, including a training logbook and individual trainee records, which must be made available for inspection.
