                             ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON RULES
                                Nancy Skinner, Chair
                   SCR 94 (Harman) - As Introduced:  March 24, 2010
           
          SUBJECT  :   Schoolbus Drivers' Day.

           SUMMARY  :  Designates April 27, 2010, as Schoolbus Drivers' Day  
          in California, in order to draw special public attention to  
          schoolbus drivers for their continued and excellent services to  
          pupils in California.  Specifically,  this resolution  makes the  
          following legislative findings:  

          1)Personal time and energy are expended by schoolbus drivers in  
            their initial training, maintaining a current license,  
            perfecting their driving skills, and accruing added knowledge  
            of schoolbus laws through continuing education classes; and  
            schoolbus drivers perform their services for thousands of  
            accident-free miles, year after year.  

          2)Schoolbus drivers often face natural and unexpected hazards in  
            the performance of their duties; and these drivers  
            consistently demonstrate an awareness of, and direct attention  
            to, the mechanical maintenance of the schoolbus and safety  
            conditions of the schoolbus routes.

          3)The safety of our children rests in the hands of trained  
            schoolbus drivers each day; and schoolbus drivers, through  
            counseling and disciplinary techniques, are sometimes asked to  
            assist pupils in appropriate interactive peer and adult  
            behavior.

          4)Schoolbus drivers are recognized annually for their continued  
            and excellent services to the youth of the state by the people  
            of California; and these drivers are deserving of special  
            public recognition and the highest commendations.
