Plain-English Summary

School bus drivers would no longer have to demonstrate that they can inspect their vehicle's engine compartment as part of their required skills test, making it easier for them to obtain or renew their commercial driver's licenses. This change would make the testing requirement permanent rather than temporary, affecting thousands of school bus drivers across the country who currently must pass this inspection component. The bill is intended to streamline the licensing process while maintaining other safety requirements for drivers responsible for transporting students.
