Iowa SF448 modifies school bus driver authorization requirements and approved courses of instruction.

Iowa SF448 amends the requirements for school bus driver authorization and approved courses of instruction. It exempts drivers from needing to complete a course unless the employing school district mandates it. If a driver's authorization is revoked for not completing a course, they can regain authorization without completing the course if employed by a district that does not require it, provided they meet other eligibility criteria. Drivers must complete an approved course within six months of employment and every 24 months thereafter if required by their school district.
