That depends. A CDL only becomes necessary once the operation of a vehicle designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) is involved. In which case, you would need a class of CDL appropriate to the vehicle being driven (Class B for single vehicles in excess of 26,000 lbs. GVWR, Class C for vehicles less than 26,000 lbs. GVWR) with the Passenger endorsement.
If it's a school bus, then the school bus endorsement is required, which comprises of both the written test for passenger vehicles, as well as a background check. This will be required for school buses of all sizes, regardless of the number of passengers transported, and a school bus transporting 15 people or less (including the driver) may require a CDL if the state either doesn't have a chauffeur licence system, or the chauffeur licence system doesn't allow the school bus endorsement to be added to those licences.
For vehicles transporting 15 persons or less (including the driver) a CDL is not required, and licencing requirements are left to individual states. Some states have no additional requirements, while others have a "chauffeur's licence" applicable to taxi drivers, limo drivers, and other drivers who operate passenger transport vehicles which don't require a CDL. You would have to check with your state's DMV to see whether or not this is the case with your state.
