Sec. 384.204  CDL issuance and information.

    (a) General rule. The State shall authorize a person to operate a

    (b) Exceptions--(1) Training. The State may authorize a person, who 
does not hold a CDL valid in the type of vehicle in which training 
occurs, to undergo behind-the-wheel training in a CMV only by means of a 
learner's permit issued and used in accordance with Sec. 383.23(c) of 
this title.
    (2) Confiscation of CDL pending enforcement. A State may allow a CDL 
holder whose CDL is held in trust by that State or any other State in 
the course of enforcement of the motor vehicle traffic code, but who has 
not been convicted of a disqualifying offense under Sec. 383.51 based 
on such enforcement, to drive a CMV while holding a dated receipt for 
such CDL.
