Hawaii SB835 allows commercial drivers with a passenger endorsement to transport students without needing a school bus endorsement.
Hawaii SB835 addresses the critical shortage of school bus drivers by authorizing individuals with a commercial driver's license and a passenger "P" endorsement to provide pupil transportation services without also needing a school bus "S" endorsement. This change aims to ensure reliable and efficient student transportation, especially in rural areas and on the neighbor islands. The bill also allows the Department of Transportation to grant exemptions for using non-school vehicles when necessary to meet transportation demands.
