Summary

The New York State DMV form DS-703, titled "Article 19-A Bus Driver's Blood Pressure Follow-Up by Driver's Health Care Provider," is a medical monitoring document used to ensure bus drivers with high blood pressure are fit for duty. Under Article 19-A of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, motor carriers are responsible for ensuring their drivers receive regular medical follow-ups to verify that their condition is adequately controlled via diet, medication, or other means.

The form requires a healthcare provider to record the driver's current systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings and provide their professional license information and signature. This completed document must be maintained in the driver's personnel file by the motor carrier and made available for NYSDMV inspections to confirm compliance with safety regulations and the Commissioner's Regulations Part 6.10.

Pro Tip: Avoid form rejection by ensuring the driver's name matches their license exactly, including the Client ID number, and verifying that the health care provider records specific blood pressure readings, indicates the method of control, and signs the document with their license information.
