Wikipedia has answers under "Hours of Service" - but I would think that unless you own the bus and are hiring the driver, the bus company would know all about this and even if you planned a trip, if it did not fit with their rules, you could not do it.
I am under the impression these are Interstate Commerce rules - federal - not local by state anyway.
