Commercial transportation provided, commercial driver training assistance program established, and money appropriated.

HF 1242 establishes Minnesota's Commercial Driver Training Assistance Program, providing financial support for individuals seeking commercial driver's license (CDL) training. The program offers first-come, first-served funding to cover training costs, requiring applicants to document job shadowing with at least two motor carriers. It mandates the commissioner to set up application procedures, maintain a public website with program details, and limit administrative costs to 3% of funds. The bill directly affects aspiring CDL holders, commercial driver training schools (designated as "registered providers"), and motor carriers (designated as "registered employers"). It also updates road test definitions and scheduling rules for driver licensing.
