60-4,145. Application; operation in interstate or foreign commerce; certification required.Upon making any application pursuant to section 60-4,144, any applicant who operates or expects to operate a commercial motor vehicle in interstate or foreign commerce and who is subject to 49 C.F.R. part 391 adopted pursuant to section 75-363 shall certify that the applicant meets the qualification requirements of 49 C.F.R. part 391. A commercial driver's license examiner may require any applicant making certification pursuant to this section to demonstrate with or without the aid of corrective devices sufficient powers of eyesight to enable him or her to operate a commercial motor vehicle in conformance with the minimum vision requirements of 49 C.F.R. part 391 adopted pursuant to section 75-363. If from the examination given it appears that any applicant's powers of eyesight are such that he or she cannot meet the minimum vision requirements, the examiner shall allow the applicant to present an ophthalmologist's or optometrist's certificate to the effect that the applicant has sufficient powers of eyesight for such purpose before issuing a commercial driver's license to the applicant. If the examination given by the commercial driver's license examiner or the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's certificate indicates that the applicant must wear a corrective device to meet the minimum vision requirements established by this section, the applicant shall have the use of the commercial driver's license issued to him or her restricted to wearing a corrective device while operating a motor vehicle. An applicant who has been issued a waiver or exemption by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration from the vision requirements set forth in 49 C.F.R. 391.41(b)(10) may be issued an interstate commercial driver's license without meeting the vision requirements set forth in 49 C.F.R. 391.41(b)(10).
