SF40 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))

Certain third-party testing authorization by transit operators

Related bill: HF303

AI Generated Summary

The proposed bill, SF No. 40, aims to modify existing transport regulations in Minnesota, specifically relating to the testing of bus drivers. It would allow school districts and bus companies that already have a third-party testing program to form agreements with other districts or bus companies to conduct driver testing for them. Additionally, the bill allows transit operators with similar programs to test drivers for other transit operators. These testing services would be reimburseable by the entity whose drivers are being tested, and any such agreements would require approval from the commissioner. Lastly, the bill requires any third-party testers to be employed directly by the school district or bus company providing the testing services.
