Suspension of limited term commercial driving privileges (temporary)
On September 29, 2025, FMCSA published an interim final rule (IFR) that changes the eligibility requirements for limited term CLPs and CDLs. The IFR was effective immediately upon publication and requires states to pause issuance of limited term CLPs and CDLs until they can ensure compliance with the updated regulations. The OTC Chair approved DMV filing this temporary rulemaking in response to the IFR. OTC ratified the temporary rulemaking at the October 27, 2025 meeting. As such, this temporary rulemaking will be followed up with a permanent rulemaking.
