Bill > HR623

This bill, called the LICENSE Act of 2025, directs the Secretary of Transportation to make two key modifications to commercial driver's license (CDL) regulations within 90 days of enactment. First, the bill requires that any State or third-party examiner administering the CDL knowledge test must: maintain a valid CDL test examiner certification, complete a specific CDL skills test examiner training course, and complete one unit of instruction as defined in the regulations. Second, the bill allows any State to administer driving skills tests to CDL applicants, regardless of the applicant's home state or where they received their driver training. These changes aim to standardize and potentially streamline the process of obtaining a commercial driver's license by creating more flexible testing requirements and removing geographic restrictions on skills testing. The bill seeks to improve the efficiency and consistency of commercial driver licensing across the United States.
