The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 171.3213, to modify employment requirements for applicants in the third-party testing program for school bus drivers. It allows school districts and school bus companies to enter into agreements to test each other's school bus driver employees. Additionally, it stipulates that a certified third-party tester must be employed by a school district or a school bus company providing the testing services.

New provisions state that a test applicant's results and passage are contingent upon either remaining employed with the third-party testing program for six months following the test administration date or completing an approved school bus driver training program. The bill also specifies that these changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, for tests administered on or after that date.
