Committee approves CDL and motorcycle instructor qualification updates
Summary
The committee reviewed and approved language adding commercial driving experience requirements for commercial driver license (CDL) instructors and reducing required years of licensed experience for motorcycle instructors from four to two.
The Transportation Committee reviewed changes to instructor qualifications in S.123 and indicated agreement to proceed.
Section 19 would add CDL-specific requirements for instructor licensing, including actual experience driving and holding a commercial motor vehicle license. Committee members said they received substantive testimony from DMV and support for the change. For motorcycle instructors, the bill would reduce the prior requirement of four years’ licensed experience to two years’ licensed experience and clarify that the measure counts licensed experience rather than only riding experience. Committee members signaled general support and indicated those measures could be checked off as updates.
Ending: The committee indicated consensus to advance the qualification updates and did not request further changes at this markup stage.
