HF 99: Relating to approved courses of instruction for school bus drivers

Became HF 315 · Its progress continues under the new number.

What it does

employed as a school bus driver must successfully complete a course of instruction for school bus drivers approved by the department of education (DOE). The DOE establishes rules and requirements for such instruction courses. The course must be completed before or within the first six months of the person’s employment and at least every months thereafter. Beginning February 7, 2022, the federal motor carrier safety administration requires persons seeking a commercial driver’s license (CDL) for the first time, persons seeking to upgrade certain existing CDLs, and persons seeking to obtain a school bus, passenger, or hazardous materials endorsement to complete entry-level driver training (ELDT).
