LICENSE Act of 2025
The LICENSE Act of 2025 modifies federal regulations to expand who can administer commercial driver's license (CDL) knowledge and skills tests. It allows states or certified third-party examiners to give knowledge tests if they hold valid examiner certification and complete required training, and removes restrictions preventing states from testing CDL applicants regardless of where they live or received training. The bill directly affects state licensing agencies, third-party examiners, and CDL applicants by streamlining the testing process. The changes require the Secretary of Transportation to revise specific regulations within 90 days of enactment.
