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 The content of this rule will be superseded by implementation of rule 6A-3.0141 and is no longer necessary.
