An Act addressing the shortage of school bus drivers

This bill creates a new pathway for individuals to become school bus drivers without holding a full Commercial Driver's License (CDL) upfront. It allows people without a CDL to take the written exam solely for school bus operation, exempting them from questions about vehicle maintenance and inspections. The resulting license would only permit operating school buses, requiring a full CDL exam for other commercial vehicles. School districts, as the vehicle owners, would be responsible for ensuring all school bus maintenance and inspections are properly conducted.
