Gov. Bill Haslam is backing new legislation which could make school buses safer. Rep. David Hawk introduced the bill which would create a new school bus training program that all drivers would be required to take and pass before getting behind the wheel. Drivers would have to be 25-years-of-age before being allowed to drive. The law would also require a school bus supervision program that would monitor and oversee local transport services. There is no provision for seat belts. $350,000 has been provided in the governor’s proposed budget for such a program.
