Requires State to reimburse licensing costs for certain school bus drivers.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Education to reimburse school bus drivers employed by eligible public school districts for the cost of obtaining a commercial driver license (CDL) and required endorsements. To qualify, drivers must maintain their CDL, complete all required training, and commit to five years of employment with a district that owns and operates its own school buses (not using contractors). If a driver leaves before five years, they must repay the reimbursement cost: 100% if employed for three years or less, or 50% if employed for four years. The reimbursement covers the full cost of the CDL and endorsements, with repayment terms tied to the duration of employment.
