{mosads}The Senate version of the bill, which has been dubbed the Military Commercial Driver’s License Act of 2012, was approved by the upper chamber last week in what is expected to be a final flurry of legislative activity before the November elections.

The bill makes a change to the current commercial driver’s licensing law, which requires applicants to complete their training in the same location as they are applying for a license.

Rockefeller’s office said many veterans who are trained to drive large vehicle are trained during their tours of duty overseas.
