Certain third-party testing authorization by transit operators

This bill allows transit operators (like city bus systems) that run third-party driver testing programs to partner with other transit operators to test their bus drivers. It directly affects transit agencies that provide or receive these testing services. The key provision requires such agreements between transit operators to be approved by the state transportation commissioner, and the testing provider can be reimbursed by the agency whose drivers are tested. The bill expands existing rules for school bus testing to apply specifically to transit bus drivers.
