flag Alabama bills allow retirees to drive school buses with pensions, easing driver shortages.

flag Alabama lawmakers have passed House Bill 138, which would allow retirees from state and teacher retirement systems to return as full-time school bus drivers while keeping their pensions. flag The bill aims to ease a statewide shortage affecting urban and rural districts, driven by high CDL certification costs and drivers leaving for better-paying jobs. flag The measure, awaiting Governor Kay Ivey’s signature, would require no new costs for districts and could help fill gaps in regular, substitute, and special transportation routes. flag If signed, it would take effect October 1, 2026, and expire in 2030 unless extended.
