On December 21, 2018 the FMCSA Published a Final Rule Relating to State Issuance of Commercial Learner’s Permit Validity (49 CFR 583).

DATE: The Rule is Effective on February 19, 2019.

DISCUSSION:  This rule is intended to make it easier and more cost effective for State Driver Licensing Agencies to issue Commercial Learner’s Permits.  It provides an alternative to the current regulation and the states do not need to use the alternative unless it is more cost effective than the than the current procedures, which remain in effect.
