Legal Focus: FMCSA Extends Under the Hood Exemption for Additional Two Years
On December 2, 2024, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published an extension of the Under the Hood Exemption (the “Exemption”) in the Federal Register. As school transportation contractors know, FMCSA initially granted the NSTA Request for the Under the Hood Exemption in October 2022, after a series of prior waivers, for an Exemption period of two years beginning on November 27, 2022 and ending November 27, 2024. The Exemption period has now been extended by FMCSA for an additional two year period, retroactively beginning on November 28, 2024 and ending on November 28, 2026.
Request as copy of this article for a brief recap on how the Exemption benefits employers and CDL applicants who wish to drive a school bus, and what states are required to do pursuant to the Exemption.
