commercial motor vehicle drivers in order to meet the
requirements of the Commercial Motor Vehicle Act of 1986

cancellation of a School Bus Driver's Permit. The permit shall
be required for the operation of a school bus as provided in

permit will establish that the school bus driver has met all
the requirements of the application and screening process
established by Section 6-106.1 of this Code.
