BILL NUMBER: S5865 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the permanent disqualification of school bus drivers for failing a random alcohol or drug test PURPOSE : To protect the safety of school children and the motoring public. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : This bill provides for the permanent disqualification of school bus drivers who fail a random drug or alcohol test administered according to federal rules and regulations, if such drivers have, in the preceding five years, failed a previous random drug or alcohol test, or refused to submit to a chemical test, or been convicted of DWI or DWAI. The bill allows DMV to waive the permanent disqualification after five years, if the individual has not been convicted of any additional DWI/DWAI charges, and the individual submits acceptable documentation to the Commissioner either that he or she is not in need of alcohol or drug treatment or has satisfactorily completed a prescribed course of treatment.
