Authority for third-party road tests for school bus drivers amended, and technical changes made.

HF 3576 amends Minnesota law to allow school districts, school bus companies, and service cooperatives to become designated third-party programs that administer road tests for school bus drivers. It adds "third-party testing of school bus drivers" as a service cooperatives may provide under section 123A.21, and establishes rules for how these programs can operate, including agreements between entities to test drivers for other districts or companies. The bill requires agreements to be submitted to the commissioner for approval and allows reimbursement for testing services. This directly affects school bus drivers, school districts, school bus companies, and service cooperatives that provide driver testing services.
