Illinois Panel Reviews CDL School Rule Changes

So whatOwner-operators & CDL training providers in Illinois: a rule change affecting commercial driver training schools is in final state review; check JCAR's docket for the specific amendments before they take effect.

The Illinois Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) posted a second-notice filing covering Title 92, Part 1060, the Secretary of State's regulations for commercial driver training schools. Second notice is a formal stage in Illinois rulemaking: it follows an agency's first-notice publication and public comment period, and precedes JCAR's final review before a rule can be adopted. The filing identifies the part under review but the text of the specific amendments was not available in the materials reviewed for this item. Part 1060 generally governs licensing and operating standards for schools that train commercial drivers in Illinois, so any change could affect curriculum, instructor, or facility requirements for those schools. Carriers and driving schools that rely on Illinois-licensed CDL training programs should pull the full JCAR filing to see exactly what the Secretary of State proposed before the rule reaches final adoption.

What's next

  • JCAR must complete its review of the second-notice filing before the Secretary of State can adopt a final rule.
  • Watch the JCAR docket (number 921060-2611834r02) for the committee's certification or any objection.
  • Specific effective date and rule text were not available in the source reviewed; confirm with the full PDF.
