Filed as: Amendments to §§ 61:23:01:04 and 61:26:02:01
South Dakota motor carrier safety inspectors will enforce the April 1, 2025 edition of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance safety standards instead of the April 1, 2024 edition, and will now also enforce federal English proficiency requirements for commercial drivers. Additionally, when calculating prorated driver licensing fees, any resulting fee that is not a whole dollar amount will be rounded down to the nearest dollar, ensuring simpler fee calculations for applicants.
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.
