Requires MVC to authorize use of third-party vendors in administration of commercial driver license testing.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A709 requires the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to authorize third-party vendors - such as private driver training schools, employers, or local government agencies - to administer knowledge and skills tests for commercial driver license (CDL) applicants. The bill removes the previous requirement for the MVC to wait for a pilot program evaluation before approving vendors, and eliminates the MVC’s authority to limit the number of authorized vendors statewide. It also mandates that third-party vendors charge no more than the state’s cost for administering skills tests. This directly affects CDL applicants seeking faster testing options and third-party providers aiming to offer these services.
