Pennsylvania HB998 amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to exempt drivers of school buses carrying 11 to 15 passengers, including the driver, from needing a commercial driver's license. This change applies to those transporting preprimary, primary, or secondary school students to or from public, private, or parochial schools or school-related events.
