Short description: VEH CD-SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS-CPR Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to require a person to successfully complete a class on cardiopulmonary resuscitation in order to receive or renew a school bus driver permit. FISCAL NOTE (Dept. of Transportation) HB528 will have no fiscal impact on IDOT. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Provides that a person has 60 days after receipt of a school bus driver permit to complete a certified class on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and that failure to do so shall result in the suspen- sion of the permit until he or she provides certification to the Secretary of State that he or she has successfully completed the class. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (State Board of Education) The fiscal impact to local school districts/local school bus contracts would be about $1.2 million, based on 25,000 school bus drivers and an estimate of $50/course. This would be in addition to the current $25 fingerprinting fee, the cost for a school bus driver physical examination, the $4 fee for initial and refresher training, and the cost of the appropriate li- censes and permit. The fiscal impact to the State Bd. of Ed. would be the additional costs claimed on the annual claim for transportation reimbursement by districts. STATE MANDATES NOTE, H-AM 1 (State Board of Education) Same as SBE fiscal note. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2. Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to provide that the annual refresher course in first aid required to be taken by school bus drivers shall include a certified class in cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the first year and every 5 years thereafter.
