OSCA Introduces School Bus Driver Medical Exams Legislation

(COLUMBUS, OH) OSCA’s Nicholas Strata announced today that House Bill 338 has been introduced to allow chiropractic physicians the ability to examine school bus drivers. The bill was introduced by Rep. Tim Ginter (R-Salem). Specifically, the bill would allow DC’s and “a medical examiner listed on the national registry of certified medical examiners established by the federal motor carrier safety administration in accordance with 49 C.F.R. part 390.”

“We have been looking at this for a couple of years,” said OSCA’s Executive Director. “We had a couple of members inquire about this and one specifically resides in the bill sponsor’s district. That was helpful.”

OSCA President & Chairman, Dr. Mickey Frame, said “HB 338 will help bridge the gap that has widened over the years. This bill is one piece of a large puzzle to improve our status in the healthcare community and give our members the opportunity to practice to their fullest extent.”
