Te School Bus Safety Company introduced its latest driver training module that


focuses on bullying prevention. The new course, “Bullying Prevention on the School Bus,” is being touted as “the first-ever, professionally-developed curriculum created specifically to address the challenges school bus drivers face.” The course includes three DVDs, a Trainer’s Guide and a Driver’s Job Aid that covers three topics: Bullying – How do I recog- nize it?; Bullying – What can I do about it? and; Handling bullying situations.


Small businesses, especially, are collec-


tively exhaling sighs of relief after President Obama repealed a business tax reporting mandate in April that was included in the health care law passed through Congress last year. Te Tire Industry Association, a major player in the negotiations, said every business owner would have been saddled in 2012 with the additional bur- den of filing a Form 1099 to the IRS for all purchases of more than $600. Roy Littlefield, executive VP of the Tire


Industry Association (TIA), added that the lobbying success in Washington, D.C., proved that trade associations do have the power to affect change. Business Week reported that the repeal


law returns such information reporting to its previous state, that being businesses must report only payments to unincorpo- rated businesses for services.


Cleaire Advanced Emission Controls


offers a LongMile diesel particulate filter as Level 3+ for on-road applications. It was veri- fied last year by the California Air Resources Board and the EPA. Cleaire said the CARB Level 3+ designation means the LongMile successfully demonstrated diesel particulate matter (PM) emission reductions of greater than 85 percent while meeting the NO2 emission standard. Effective last October, this CARB verification allows the LongMile to be installed on 1993 through 2006 model-year engines from 5.3 to 16 liters. Te verification also makes the LongMile eligible for govern- ment financial incentive programs used to meet regulatory requirements.
