Details the procedure that certain school districts must follow when dealing with disciplinary actions for bus drivers and bus driver's assistants

This bill requires school districts in Westchester, Putnam, Nassau, and Suffolk counties to follow existing union contracts when disciplining bus drivers and driver's assistants. Districts must honor these agreements before taking adverse actions unless a superintendent certifies the driver's conduct involved "egregious misconduct" creating immediate danger to students. If such certification occurs, districts must complete a 5-business-day expedited review process, bypassing standard grievance procedures. Drivers or assistants wrongfully disciplined during this process are entitled to punitive damages if exonerated. The law applies specifically to transportation contracts in those counties.
