This bill tells the Secretary of Transportation to change two Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules within 90 days of enactment. The first change would let a State or a third-party examiner give a commercial driver's license knowledge test if the examiner has a valid test examiner certificate, finishes a required skills-test examiner training course, and completes one unit of required instruction. The second change would let any State give a commercial driver's license driving skills test to an applicant no matter where the applicant lives or where they got driver training.
If you are trying to get a commercial driver's license, the bill would allow more examiners to give the written knowledge test if they meet the certification and training steps. It would also let you take the driving skills test in a State even if you do not live in that State or trained there. The required regulatory changes must be made within 90 days after the bill becomes law.

The bill's title and text indicate sponsors want to allow certified and trained examiners to give knowledge tests and let States give driving skills tests to any applicant. Supporters are presenting the changes as a way to permit these testing options under existing federal rules.
