MEMORANDUM

Posted: December 31, 2012 09:52 AM
From: Senator Elder A. Vogel, Jr.
To: All Senate members
Subject: Military Personnel CDL requirements
 
In the near future, I intend to introduce a bill amending Title Code 75 (Vehicles) further providing for commercial driver’s license qualification standards for members of the armed services.

As the law currently stands, military personnel and veterans who have two years of experience driving a military commercial vehicle are eligible to waive the skills test when certain criteria are met. One such requirement states that the applicant is eligible for waiver if “the applicant has legally operated, for at least two years immediately preceding application for a commercial driver’s license...”

This bill will strike “immediately preceding,” allowing for military personnel and veterans with at least two years of military commercial driving experience the opportunity to apply for a CDL with the possibility of a waiver at any time.

Introduced as SB277
