MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVER'S LICENSES -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding commercial driver's license permit fees, eligibility, and renewal.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
▶ Show statement of purpose▼ Hide statement of purpose
This legislation has three parts: 1. It allows a commercial driver’s license (CDL) to be renewed for 8 years; currently CDL driver's may only obtain 4-year licenses. The 8-year renewal confers a broad benefit to the Idaho trucking industry. 2. It reduces online renewal fees by five dollars. All license renewal fees are set in statute. Allowing an online discount encourages people to skip the trip and fulfills customer demand for efficient renewal options at a lower cost. 3. It sets up a Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse check for CDL licenses. Federal statute requires the Idaho Transportation Department(ITD) to check the federal drug and alcohol clearinghouse prior to completing any CDL transaction. The clearing house check process must be in place by November 18, 2024.
