What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current rules promulgated by the Department of Transportation, no

human services vehicle driver may require or allow any passenger to stand while the

vehicle is in motion and may not move the vehicle until all passengers are seated.

Under this bill, these restrictions do not apply to a passenger with a medical

condition that prevents sitting as certified by a medical practitioner.
