(a) A school bus driver permit may not be issued to a person who does not meet the following minimum standards as certified by a medical doctor, a physician's assistant licensed by the State Medical Board, or an advanced nurse practitioner licensed by the Board of Nursing, on the form required in 13 AAC 08.015(1) :
(1) the person must be free of communicable disease at the time of examination;
(2) the person must have a chest X-ray or "skin test" that shows the person to be free of tuberculosis;
(3) the person's visual acuity may not be less than 20/30 in one eye and 20/200 in the other eye, either with or without corrective lenses;
(4) the person may not have monocular vision;
(5) the person may not have a history of fainting spells, dizziness, convulsions, epilepsy, or cardiac ailment during the 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the examination;
(6) the person must have normal use of both hands, arms, and feet;
(7) the person may not have a physical disability that would prevent safe operation of a school bus under all driving conditions;
(8) the person may not presently be under treatment for excessive use of alcohol or drugs.
(b) Except as provided in (c) of this section, a renewal of a school bus driver permit may not be granted unless the requirements of (a)(1) - (a)(8) of this section are met.
(c) When a person has a "skin test" that does not show the person to be free of tuberculosis, a chest X-ray is not required under (a)(2) of this section if within 18 months before the skin test the person had a chest X-ray that showed him to be free of tuberculosis. Nothing in this section, however, prevents the person conducting the examination from concluding that the X-ray is necessary for diagnostic purposes and requiring that an X-ray be taken.
(d) A report of an examination performed under this section by a physician's assistant or an advanced nurse practitioner must be signed by that person, and include the name of the collaborating physician.
