Alabama streamlines commercial learner’s permit procedures
7.17.2017
Alabama is updating its commercial learner’s permit (CLP) to comply with recent Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulation. In the coming days, the state will start issuing a separate document for the CLP that is valid for 180 days, but applicants can renew it one time for an additional 180 days without retaking the knowledge tests. State law enforcement officials say they expect to go live with the updated system by Monday, July 17, 2017.
