Minnesota SF583 allows public transit operators to conduct third-party testing for school bus drivers.

Minnesota SF583 amends state statutes to authorize public transit operators to perform third-party testing for school bus drivers. This bill allows school districts and school bus companies that operate their own testing programs to enter into agreements with other districts or companies to test their drivers. The tested driver's school district or company may reimburse the third-party testing program. The agreement must be approved by the commissioner. A certified third-party tester must be employed by a school district or a school bus company providing the testing services.
