Introduced Text

New Jersey S2447 mandates biannual drug and alcohol testing for school bus drivers.

New Jersey S2447 requires all school bus drivers to undergo unannounced medical testing twice a year for alcohol, narcotics, or habit-producing drugs. The employing board of education or contractor will determine the timing of the testing. A driver is immediately ineligible to operate a school bus if the test results disqualify them or if they refuse to submit to testing. The Commissioner of Education must establish criteria for disqualification and develop an appeal process for drivers contesting the results.
