S. 3807, called "Miranda's Law" or the "Miranda Vargas School Bus Driver Red Flag Act," requires the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to create a national employer notification service that automatically alerts employers when their commercial driver's license employees have driving record changes—such as moving violations, accidents, license suspensions, or failures to appear in court. The bill specifically targets school districts, local educational agencies, and schools that employ school bus drivers, requiring them to participate in the system and receive real-time alerts about their drivers' status changes. The Transportation Department must issue final regulations within one year, and all states must implement the system within two years of the regulation's issuance, with state implementation costs eligible for federal grant funding. Additionally, the bill requires that employees receive simultaneous notification whenever their employer is notified about their driving record, and employers participating in the system are exempt from annual manual driving record reviews.
