What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

A recently promulgated federal regulation requires certain applicants for

commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to successfully complete entry-level driver

training, as specified in the federal regulations, before being licensed. Specifically,

those who apply for a CDL for the first time, who upgrade their CDL, or who seek to

to obtain a passenger, school bus, or hazardous materials endorsement for the first

time must complete the training. This bill integrates these entry-level driver

training requirements into the statutes governing the Department of

Transportation's issuance of CDLs.
