TN lawmakers look to lower legal age to drive school busses

School bus drivers in Tennessee can begin at age 25, but some Tennessee lawmakers want to lower the age requirement by four years. House Bill 0084 and Senate Bill 1042 would bring the minimum age for school bus drivers down to 21. A lower age requirement would help expand the list of potential drivers. Some current drivers support the bill, as long as new drivers receive the proper training. If the bill is passed, the law would go into effect on July 1.
