Bill > SB783

This bill modifies the commercial driver training grant program by clarifying who can provide the required training and when individuals must obtain their commercial driver's license to qualify for a grant. Specifically, it allows applicants to either provide or pay for a third party to provide training that meets federal standards (49 CFR part 380, subparts F and G) to individuals residing in Wisconsin. It also clarifies that the training provider must be listed on the Training Provider Registry (TPR), a federal list of approved training programs. The bill also adjusts the requirements for the location of training facilities and specifies that an individual must obtain their initial commercial driver's license (a license to operate large vehicles) in Wisconsin after a certain date to be eligible for a grant, with a slight variation for individuals trained by entities that are not themselves training providers. Finally, it establishes that the state department can only award one grant per individual trained under this program.
