What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, with limited exceptions, applicants for an operator's license

are required to successfully complete a knowledge test and a driving skills (road)

test. Generally Department of Transportation (DOT) examiners must administer

road tests except that DOT may contract with third-party testers to conduct road

tests for commercial motor vehicle operators and school bus operators.

This bill permits DOT to contract with third-party testers to conduct road tests

for "Class D" vehicle operators. "Class D" vehicles include most noncommercial

motor vehicles other than Type 1 motorcycles.
