Department of Transportation--School Buses; Regulation No. 18-372

   On March 5, 2002, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the Department of Transportation (Department). This rulemaking amends 67 Pa. Code Chapters 71 and 171. The proposed regulation was published in the March 16, 2002, Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on September 10, 2003.

   This regulation establishes procedures and criteria by which individuals with certain medical conditions may qualify to be school bus drivers. It also sets forth equipment and safety requirements for school buses and other vehicles transporting school children. These provisions include allowing school buses to display roof-top identification numbers.

   We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Department (75 Pa.C.S. §§ 1504, 1509, 4551, 4552, 4553 and 6103) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.

By Order of the Commission:

   This regulation is approved.

JOHN R. MCGINLEY, Jr.,   
Chairperson
