What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, an individual who is employed by certain mass transit systems

as an operator of a bus in revenue service must, on certain occasions, provide the

same proof of physical fitness documentation that is required for school bus

operators. This requirement is a prohibited subject of collective bargaining. A

vehicle is in revenue service when the vehicle is available to members of the general

public and there is an expectation of carrying passengers who have paid fares, who

have provided payment through a contractual arrangement, or who are subsidized

by public funds.
