(b) No person may be issued a commercial driver license before passing a written and driving test for the operation of a commercial motor vehicle that complies with the minimum federal standards in 49 CFR part 383, and has satisfied all other federal requirements, as well as any other requirements imposed by state law. The tests shall be prescribed and conducted by the department.
(c) A commercial driver license may be issued only to a person who operates or will operate commercial motor vehicles and who is domiciled in this state; provided, that a commercial driver certificate may be issued to a person who operates or will operate a commercial motor vehicle and is not domiciled in a state that issues a commercial driver license in accordance with 49 CFR part 383.
