LICENSE Act of 2023
This bill modifies federal regulations for commercial driver's license (CDL) testing. It allows states or certified third-party examiners to administer CDL knowledge tests if they hold valid examiner certification, complete required training, and meet specific instruction standards. It also permits any state to administer CDL skills tests to applicants regardless of where the applicant lives or received training. The bill directly affects CDL applicants and state/local examiners by streamlining testing options and reducing location-based restrictions.
