The Ohio Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Motor Vehicles, will conduct a public hearing for the purpose of soliciting comments on the following rule proposed for adoption to Chapter 4501-47, "Commercial Driver's License," of the Ohio Administrative Code. This rule is being filed to implement statutory provisions set forth in House Bill 337 of the 129th General Assembly and House Bills 98 and 488 of the 130th General Assembly that apply military training and experience toward the requirements to receive occupational licenses and require agencies to develop processes for expediting such applications.

 

4501-47-16 (Military waiver of commercial driver's license skills test) sets forth the requirements that must be met for the registrar of motor vehicles to waive the skills test for any applicant, who has been a member or uniformed employee of the armed forces of the United States or their reserve components, including the Ohio National Guard or the national guard of any other state and provides that the registrar shall establish and maintain processes for monitoring, prioritizing, and expediting applications that meet the requirements set forth in this rule.

 

Any persons affected by the proposed adoption of this rule may appear at the hearing and be heard in person, or by an attorney, or both, or may present their position, argument, or contention in writing. Persons may offer and examine witnesses and present evidence to show that the proposed rule will be unreasonable or unlawful if enacted.
