Certain employment requirements modification for third-party testing program applicants

This bill modifies requirements for school bus driver applicants using third-party testing programs. It changes the condition for test results to be valid: applicants must now either stay employed with the testing program for six months after testing or complete the approved driver training program (replacing the prior requirement of only staying employed). The bill directly affects school bus drivers seeking certification through third-party testing programs in Minnesota. It takes effect July 1, 2025, for tests administered on or after that date.
