Bill Summary
Directs the Secretary of Transportation (DOT) to establish accelerated licensing procedures to assist Armed Forces veterans to acquire commercial driver's licenses. Requires such procedures to apply to any veteran attempting to acquire a commercial driver's license who, during military service, obtained driving experience that makes the use of accelerated licensing procedures appropriate.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of Transportation, also known as the DOT, to create faster ways for veterans to get commercial driver's licenses, which are needed to operate large vehicles like trucks and buses. These special procedures will be available to any veteran who gained relevant driving experience while serving in the Armed Forces, making them eligible for this expedited process. The bill defines "commercial driver's license" and "State" according to existing federal law and defines "veteran" as per Title 38 of the U.S. Code. The Secretary of Transportation will work with the Secretary of Defense and individual states to implement these accelerated licensing procedures within one year of the bill becoming law.
