Third-party commercial driver's license road tests authorization

This bill authorizes private companies to administer road tests for commercial driver's licenses in Minnesota, expanding options beyond state-run testing centers. It allows approved third-party testing programs to conduct practical driving demonstrations for commercial license applicants, with the commissioner responsible for approving programs and setting requirements. Key provisions include establishing application procedures for testing programs, requiring surety bonds, and mandating that test routes be mapped and submitted for approval. The legislation also directs the commissioner to create rules implementing the program and requires a report on the initiative's implementation.
