| DE | Signed into law 07/2001 | P-12 | From the legislation:
Currently, in order to get a school bus endorsement, drivers can not have been convicted of a felony within the past 5 years. This Act modifies that requirement so that it more closely parallels the rules governing when a convicted felon would be eligible to regain the right to vote. This Act also closes a loophole in the law governing school bus drivers who operate school busses within the State on licenses issued by another state (i.e. out-of-state drivers). Finally, this Act contains a grandfather clause so that persons who are currently school bus drivers will not be adversely effected.
