The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has decided to renew exemptions for eight individuals, allowing them to continue driving commercial motor vehicles despite having epilepsy or a history of seizures. These individuals are taking medication for their condition, and FMCSA has determined that the exemptions provide a safety level equal to or greater than the standard regulations. The exemptions are valid for two years, and can be revoked if safety conditions are not met.
Simple Explanation
The FMCSA is letting eight people who had seizures keep driving big trucks because they take medicine that helps them stay safe. This decision lasts for two years, but they must keep being safe to continue driving.
