Bill > S191

This bill, known as 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 allows States and third-party examiners to administer CDL knowledge tests if the examiner maintains a valid test examiner certification, completes a specific skills test examiner training course, and completes one unit of required instruction. Second, the bill enables any State to administer a driving skills test to a CDL applicant, regardless of the applicant's state of domicile or where they received their driver training. These changes aim to streamline and potentially simplify the process of obtaining a commercial driver's license by providing more flexibility in testing procedures and locations, which could help address commercial driver shortages and make the licensing process more accessible.
