This bill aims to amend the current regulations regarding commercial motor vehicle instruction by directing the commissioner of public safety to eliminate the existing 180-hour training requirement for postsecondary institutions. Specifically, the bill mandates that by August 1, 2024, the commissioner must amend Minnesota Rules, part 7410.6180, to remove the phrase "that consists of at least 180 hours of training." This change is intended to streamline the training process for commercial motor vehicle instruction and potentially make it more accessible.
Additionally, the bill authorizes the commissioner to utilize a good-cause exemption for rulemaking purposes, allowing for flexibility in adopting the necessary changes without adhering to the standard rulemaking process outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 14.386. The effective date for this amendment is set for the day following its final enactment, ensuring a prompt implementation of the new regulations.
