What’s in it

Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) is required to examine applicants for driver’s licenses. However, the DOT may designate community colleges and other third-party testers to administer the driving skills test required for a commercial driver’s license (CDL). A third-party skills test examiner used by a third-party tester must meet federal regulatory requirements as adopted by rule by the DOT. The DOT is required to adopt rules requiring that a third-party tester, other than a community college, either be an Iowa-based motor carrier, or its subsidiary, that has its principal office and operates a permanent commercial driver training facility in Iowa, or an Iowa nonprofit corporation that serves as a trade association for Iowa-based motor carriers.
