The Department of Public Safety is updating the safety inspection standards that motor carriers must follow to the April 1, 2025 version of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance handbook and adding a federal requirement that commercial drivers demonstrate English proficiency. Additionally, when calculating prorated driver licensing fees, any amount that falls between whole dollars will now be rounded down to the nearest dollar instead of using the full calculated amount.
AI-generated from the proposed rule text — verify against the official documents.
The reason for revising the rules is to adopt the most current version of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance handbook, implement CFR 391.11(b)(2), and revise the prorated driver licensing fee.
