Authority amendment for third-party road tests for school bus drivers
SF 3736 allows school districts, school bus companies, and service cooperatives to conduct third-party road tests for school bus drivers. The bill adds "third-party testing of school bus drivers" as a new service that service cooperatives can offer under Minnesota law. It establishes that designated school districts or companies can enter agreements to administer tests for other entities, with approval from the commissioner. Additionally, the commissioner may designate service cooperatives to test drivers for member school districts that own or operate school buses.
