driver\u2019s <\/a>license knowledge tests for all classes and endorsements.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFMCSA\u2019s regulatory guidance notice is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on Thursday, Feb. 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cState driver licensing agencies may accept the results of knowledge tests administered by third-party testers in accordance with existing knowledge test standards and requirements,\u201d the FMCSA wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The updated guidance is in response to an exemption request made by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles in April 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FMCSA responded to Virginia\u2019s request at the time and said the regulations do not prohibit the use of third-party testers. In addition, the agency indicated it would revise the existing guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regulatory guidance that was issued as recently as 2019 said that the third-party testing provision applied only to the skills portion of the testing procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, FMCSA says it has reconsidered that guidance and concluded that \u201cnothing in the agency\u2019s current authorities prohibit states from permitting third-party testers to administer CDL knowledge tests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
