§ 1287. Multifunction school activity bus
(a) A “multifunction school activity bus” is a vehicle that is used to transport students
on trips other than on a fixed route between home and school and that meets the construction
and safety standards for a “multifunction school activity bus” adopted by rule by
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
(b) If a school owns a multifunction school activity bus or leases one other than as provided
in subdivision 4(34)(A)(vi) of this title, the driver shall be required to hold a license that includes a school bus driver’s
endorsement. A school bus endorsement road test may be taken in a multifunction school
activity bus, but the resulting endorsement shall be restricted to the operation of
the appropriately sized multifunction school activity bus. Otherwise, the endorsement
shall be a Type I or Type II endorsement as appropriate to the size of the vehicle.
(c) A multifunction school activity bus may be a color other than national school bus
yellow. (Added 2005, No. 29, § 2; amended 2015, No. 50, § 9.)
