This bill aims to revise the regulations surrounding commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) by directing the Department of Transportation to offer free CDL training. It also seeks to ensure compliance with federal requirements related to CDLs. Additionally, the bill mandates the Department of Justice to query the Entry-Level Driver Training Provider Registry and the Commercial Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse under specific conditions, and it requires the Department to take necessary actions based on the results of these queries.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for rulemaking authority and allocates an appropriation for its implementation. It amends existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 61-5-110 and 61-14-202, to incorporate these changes and ensure alignment with federal standards. The bill outlines effective dates for the new regulations and actions to be taken by the relevant departments.
