Miranda's Law

HR 9471, "Miranda's Law," creates a national system requiring states to automatically notify employers when school bus drivers (with commercial licenses) face license issues like suspensions, moving violations, or accidents. It directly affects school districts, schools, and private transportation companies that employ school bus drivers, mandating their participation in this notification service. The law requires the Transportation Secretary to establish the system within one year, ensuring employers receive immediate alerts about driver license changes instead of needing annual background checks. Schools and contracted transportation providers are both considered employers under this law, and drivers must also receive copies of these notifications.
