Summary


This amendment will cease school bus accident reporting to FDOE that duplicates uniform traffic crash reports already required from police agencies by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and to cease reporting of hazardous walking locations to the FDOE. The requirement for school districts to maintain a list of certified licensed physicians is deleted because under 49 C.F.R. Part 391 (compliance with which is required by section 1012.45, Florida Statutes) certified medical examiners must be registered with the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners to conduct school bus operator medical examinations. The provision indicating that operators shall not carry firearms while on school property is deleted as that provision has been superseded by sections 790.115, 790.25 and 790.251, Florida Statutes. The provision indicating that school bus operators may not drive in excess of the fifty-five miles per hour is deleted as that provision has been superseded by section 316.183(3), Florida Statutes.
