Requires mental health evaluations for school bus drivers.

S 4710 requires all school bus drivers in New Jersey (including those employed by public, private, and parochial schools) to undergo mental health evaluations before being hired and when renewing their school bus driver licenses. The evaluations, conducted by State-licensed mental health professionals, assess an individual's moral fitness and whether they exhibit deviant social behavior as defined by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. This bill amends existing licensing requirements to add mental health screening alongside current medical, substance, and vision/hearing tests for school bus drivers. The policy directly affects all current and prospective school bus drivers in the state.
