The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has issued a notice to correct a spelling error in a previous notice regarding the renewal of exemptions for 19 interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers who have epilepsy or seizure disorders. These exemptions allow the drivers to operate CMVs despite having a history of seizures, as long as they meet certain conditions. Originally published on January 6, 2025, the misspelled name "Kieth Maat (KS)" has been corrected to "Keith Maat (KS)." This correction became effective as of March 27, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The government agency that takes care of truck drivers had to fix a mistake where they spelled someone's name wrong in an important notice. They changed "Kieth" to "Keith" to make sure everything is clear and correct.
