Relates to the disqualification of school bus drivers for certain offenses involving children

This bill expands the list of criminal offenses that permanently disqualify school bus drivers in New York. It adds specific convictions under New York Penal Law sections involving crimes against children (such as sexual offenses, endangering welfare of a child, or assault) to the existing disqualification criteria. Drivers convicted of these offenses - whether committed in New York or out-of-state - will face permanent disqualification from operating school buses. The bill also specifies a five-year disqualification period for certain less severe offenses involving children. This directly affects school bus drivers with these criminal records, ensuring they cannot operate school buses under New York law.
