On September 12, Governor Murphy conditionally approved A-2180/S-3000 (Moen, Wimberly, Murphy/Beach, Polistina). In so doing, he has returned it to the legislature with recommendations including a training program, criminal background check and other provisions to help ensure safety of students.
Passage of the bill will make it easier for ASAH schools to safely transport students with disabilities on smaller “Type S” vehicles (seating fewer than 9 people), without the need for a driver to obtain a commercial driver license.
With the extreme shortage of commercial drivers, this will increase opportunities for work-based instruction and community-based learning.
