SB 391 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

DOT Omnibus.

SB 391 revises North Carolina's Department of Transportation (DOT) laws with four key changes. It requires commercial driver training schools to follow public school standards for learner's permit courses (affecting driving schools and students), clarifies that a co-owner's death doesn't trigger auto dealer license renewal issues (affecting dealers), and revises DOT cash balance requirements to maintain 7.5% monthly cash reserves while targeting 15-20% long-term (affecting DOT fund management). It also removes reporting obligations for the North Carolina Turnpike Authority (affecting the Turnpike Authority). The bill bundles these administrative and regulatory updates without new funding or major program changes.
