Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on April 19, 2024. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

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.
