Published on: 22019696. : To add certified cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and first aid training to preservice training requirements for school bus operators; allow CPR and first aid training hours to count towards the required eight hours of annual in-service training; removes the language that prohibits a certified medical examiner from specifying a waiver or exemption from the physical qualification standards in 49 CFR 391.41; and changes the name of the Automated School Bus Driver’s License Record Check System to Motor Vehicle Operator Tracking and Reporting System (MOTRS).
Published on: 21960235. To add certified cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid training to pre-service training requirements for school bus operators; to allow CPR and first aid training hours to be counted towards the required eight (8) hours of annual in-service training; to remove the language that prohibits a certified medical examiner from specifying a waiver or exemption from the physical qualification standards in 49 CFR 391.41; and to change the name of the Automated School Bus Driver’s License Record Check System to Motor Vehicle Operator Tracking and Reporting System (MOTRS). The effect of this would be an increased readiness for a driver or attendant to administer CPR and first aid in the interest of student health and safety; a medical examiner may specify a waiver or exemption from the physical qualification standards; and the name of the new driver’s license record system will reflect the revised name of the MOTRS web application.

Published on: 17962380. To remove the duplicative requirement for the Commissioner to provide a certification of training to be issued by the district for school bus operator training.

Published on: 17047476. The purpose of the amendment to rule 6A-3.0141 is to require school bus operators within the state to meet the medical examination requirements of federally regulated commercial drivers specified in Form MCSA-5876, Medical Examiner’s Certificate, instead of the Florida School Bus Operators Medical Examination Report for Commercial Driver Fitness Determination (Form ESE 479). Form ESE 480, Dexterity Test for School Bus Driver is incorporated by reference for districts to report dexterity results. Since 1986, the medical examination requirements for school bus operators within the state have been substantially the same as those established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for federally regulated commercial drivers. The effect would require Florida school bus operators to continue to adhere to the same medical examination requirements as federally regulated commercial drivers with one exception. Authority to waive federal requirements that allow the medical examiner to specify bus operators with Skill Performance Evaluation Certificates/limb waiver and/or Diabetes and Vision exemptions meet 49 CFR s. 391.41, medical examination requirements, will not be granted. Rule 6A-3.0151 is being proposed for repeal. The content of this rule will be superseded by implementation of rule 6A-3.0141 and is no longer necessary.
