1 CCR 301-25-4.0 - Responsibility of Suppliers
4.1 Dealers,
distributors, manufacturers of school buses, and school transportation vehicles
each have a responsibility to comply with the Minimum Standards on or after the
effective date of these rules.
4.2
Dealers, distributors, or manufacturers that supply school buses and school
transportation vehicles for use in the State of Colorado that do not meet the
specifications of these rules shall be notified of non-compliance and a written
notice will be sent to all school districts, charter schools, and service
providers within the State of Colorado advising that equipment supplied by such
dealer, distributor, or manufacturer is not in compliance with the Minimum
Standards.
4.02(a) If a dealer, distributor,
or manufacturer has been notified of non-compliance in accordance with Rule 4.2
of these rules and replaces or modifies the equipment to meet the Minimum
Standards, a written notification of compliance will be issued from the
Colorado Department of Education (CDE) within 30 days after proof of
compliance.
4.3 Under
49 U.S.C.
30101, et seq., a vehicle is regarded as
being sold for use as a school bus if, at the time of sale, it is evident that
the vehicle is likely to be significantly used to transport students to or from
school or school-related events. The National Highway Transportation Safety
Administration (NHTSA) prohibits the purchase or lease of new school
transportation small-capacity vehicles pursuant to 49 US Code, Section
30112(a)(2). While Federal regulations do not prohibit the use of vans by
schools, they do require any van (with a capacity of more than 10) sold or
leased for use as a school bus to meet the safety standards applicable to
school buses. Each state prescribes its own regulations that apply to the use
of any vehicle that is used to transport students. See Section 6.0 of these
rules.
