A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5936 AS INTRODUCED 9-20-12
The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to permit the Secretary of State to waive requirements of a driving skills test for a person with military commercial motor vehicle experience if the applicant, at the time of application, certifies that he or she continuously met all of the requirements under federal driver license standards during the two-year period preceding the date of the application for the commercial driver license.
Under the bill, if the Secretary of State determines through governmental investigation, that there is reason to believe the person may have engaged in fraud during the knowledge or driving skills test to obtain a CDL, the Secretary of State could require the applicant to retake and successfully pass the test before issuing the driver license to that person.
