What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, persons who are employed by certain mass transit systems as

bus drivers must, on certain occasions, provide proof of physical fitness. This proof

includes documentation that the person has had a medical examination and that the

person meets federal standards for physical qualifications to operate a commercial

motor vehicle. This requirement is a prohibited subject of collective bargaining.
