SSB 3132: SSB 3132

What it does

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.
