Disqualifies person with certain number of motor vehicle points from operating school bus for certain period of time.
This bill prohibits school bus drivers in New Jersey from obtaining or keeping a school bus endorsement if they have accumulated four or more current motor vehicle points from traffic violations (in NJ or other jurisdictions that assess points). It requires a one-year suspension of the endorsement following the last conviction, with automatic notification to the Commissioner of Education and the driver's employer. After the suspension period, drivers must pass both a knowledge and skills test to regain their endorsement. The policy directly affects school bus drivers with recent traffic violations, aiming to improve safety by restricting those with multiple moving violations from operating school buses.
