Medical Certification
Applicants seeking a commercial driver’s license or renewing or transferring their CDL will be required to provide proof of medical certification under a federal law that takes effect at the end of January 2012.
Under the new requirement by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, all states must begin collecting and maintaining medical certification information from commercial drivers when they apply for an initial CDL, renew the CDL or when they transfer their commercial license from another state.
