Bill VEH CD-CDL-SCHOOL BUS ENDORSED Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Deletes language providing that no person may drive a bus that has been chartered for the sole purpose of transporting students regularly enrolled in grade 12 or below to or from interscholastic athletic or interscholastic or school sponsored activities unless the person has a valid school bus driver permit in addition to any other permit or license that is required to operate that bus. Provides that a person may not drive a bus chartered for those purposes that does not meet specified requirements for school buses unless he or she has a commercial driver's license (CDL) with a school bus driver endorsement. Establishes requirements for obtaining a CDL school bus driver endorsement, including certain requirements that also pertain to school bus driver permits. Provides that the requirement of a CDL with a school bus driver endorsement (rather than of a school bus driver permit) does not apply to any bus driver employed by a public transportation provider authorized to conduct local or interurban transportation of passengers when the bus is not traveling a specific school bus route but is on a regularly scheduled route for the transportation of other fare paying passengers. us/states/il Illinois General Assembly 93rd HB 2840 Illinois HB 2840 (93rd)
