Title: Commercial Driver's License Requirements of MAP-21 and the Military Commercial Driver's License Act of 2012 
Abstract:

This rule is intended to ease the transition of military members into civilian careers by reducing onerous paperwork and simplifying the licensing process. This rule proposes to extend the time period for applying for a skills test waiver from 90 days to 1 year for recently separated military. This rulemaking also proposes that active duty military members may apply for their Commercial Learner's Permits (CLPs) and CDLs in their current State of Station with the CLP and CDL being issued by their State of Domicile.
