TRANSPORTATION

Overview

RULE:

6A-3.003	Certification as to Specifications of School Buses
6A-3.0291	Specifications for New School Buses (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

To remove the requirement for manufacturers, dealers or distributors to file specifications, including blueprints, when requested by the Department of Education, with the Deputy Commissioner of Finance and Operations, for each model of school bus chassis and body intended to transport students. This requirement is not necessary, as the rule requires the manufacture, distributor or dealer to file a certified statement that any school bus chassis or body sold meets all safety standards and specifications prescribed for school buses for use in Florida. In addition, the purpose is to incorporate language related to school bus specifications and pilot testing from rule 6A-3.0291, F.A.C., which is proposed for repeal. The effect is that school buses sold in Florida will still meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, the National School Transportation Specifications & Procedures, May 2010, Florida School Bus Specifications, revised 2013 and the information will be consolidated in one rule.

SUMMARY:

This amendment will eliminate the requirement for the bus manufacturer, distributor or dealer to file, upon request, bus chassis and body specifications and blueprints with the Deputy Commissioner for Finance and Operations, while incorporating language from 6A-3.0291, F.A.C., which is proposed for repeal.
