What’s in it

Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) must examine applicants for driver’s licenses. The DOT is authorized to designate community colleges and other third-party testers to administer the knowledge and driving skills tests required for a commercial learner’s permit or commercial driver’s license. A third-party tester, other than a community college, must be an Iowa-based motor carrier that operates a permanent commercial driver training facility in Iowa, an Iowa nonprofit corporation that serves as a trade association for Iowa-based motor carriers, or a public or regional transit system.
