A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by
adding thereto a new section, designated §18A-2-10a, relating
to medical qualifications for school bus operators;
prohibition of dismissal, denial of or ineligibility for
employment of school bus operators who have diabetes mellitus
requiring insulin; exceptions.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended
by adding thereto a new section, designated section §18A-2-10a, to
read as follows:
ARTICLE 2. SCHOOL PERSONNEL.
§18A-2-10a. Medical qualifications for school bus operators.
Notwithstanding any provision of this code to the contrary,
a person employed or seeking employment as a school bus operator may not be dismissed from or denied employment or rendered
ineligible for employment as a school bus operator for reason that
the person currently has been diagnosed or has a past history of
having the disease of diabetes mellitus requiring insulin, as long
as the person is under the care of a physician for the disease, is
adhering to all treatment prescribed by his or her physician and
also meets all of the requirements to be eligible for a commercial
driver's license in this state.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to provide that persons who are
currently or have previously been employed as a school bus operator
may not be rendered ineligible for such employment as a result of
having diabetes mellitus requiring insulin, if other requirements
are met.
