SB 919 - This act specifies that the Department of Revenue may retain documents submitted by a commercial driver's license applicant who is active duty or retired military if the documents allow for waiver of the commercial driver's license knowledge test, skills test, or both. Currently, completion of a civilian or military motorcycle rider training course qualifies a license applicant for a waiver of the driving test requirement. This act expands the waiver to include the practical knowledge test, and specifies that course completion shall be accepted for purposes of motorcycle license or endorsement issuance for one year from the date of course completion. The Director of Revenue currently has the authority to waive the driving skills test for a commercial driver's license for qualified military applicants. This act allows the Director of Revenue to also waive the knowledge test. The act lengthens, from 90 days to one year, how recently an applicant must have been employed in a qualifying military position in order to be eligible for the waivers. ERIC VANDER WEERD
