Title
Motor vehicles, commercial driver's licenses, military commercial motor vehicle, exempt from skills test under certain conditions, Sec. 32-6-49.8 am'd.
Description

Under existing law, the driver of a commercial motor vehicle is required to have a commercial driver's license (CDL). The Alabama law implements federal law relating to commercial motor vehicles.

Under existing federal rules, the driving skills test may be waived for military personnel who have similar experience driving a military commercial motor vehicle (CMV driver) and who meet certain other requirements.

This bill would require the Department of Public Safety to waive the skills test for a CMV driver who meets the requirements of federal regulation and would authorize the skills tests to be given by U.S. Armed Forces personnel on U.S.

military bases.
