relating to: entry-level training requirements for applicants for
7commercial driver licenses and certain endorsements.
Analysis by the 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.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
