HB2348 Summary

• Removes third-party examiner authorization provisions from commercial driver's license testing requirements, consolidating testing authority with county examiners of drivers.

• Eliminates redundant statutory language regarding hazardous materials endorsements by repealing §286-238.5, as these requirements are now covered in Hawaii Administrative Rules.

• Consolidates and renumbers subsections in §286-236 and §286-239 to eliminate duplicative federal requirements already addressed in administrative rules while maintaining substance of commercial driver's licensing qualification standards.

• Clarifies application procedures by directing applicants to rules adopted pursuant to §286-246 rather than specific statutory sections for commercial driver's license application and renewal forms.

• Effective upon approval and does not affect rights, penalties, or proceedings that occurred before the Act's effective date.
