MEMORANDUM
TO: Miscellaneous Civil Service Board
FROM: Christi Tenter, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Temporary Waiver and Extension of Minimum Qualifications
DATE: January 19, 2021
Following the issuance of stay-at-home orders in March of 2020 the State of
California Department of Motor Vehicles ("DMV") ceased in -office appointments in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, the DMV has provided the
following guidance for current license renewals:
"All commercial driver's licenses, endorsements, and certificates expiring March
2020 -February 2021 have an extension valid through February 28, 2021. The
extension is the some for commercial license holders both under and over the age
of 70." - htfps://www.dmv.ca.gov/iportal/covid- I 9-relief-information/driver-license-
extensions/
Many established blue-collar classifications require the successful obtainment of a
commercial driver's license. This is a minimum qualification of the position included
in the approved job specification. Obtainment of the license is usually required
within the first 6 -months, or 1 -year, following appointment. This requirement has
historically been strictly adhered to.
At the April 21, 2020 meeting of the Civil Service Board for Miscellaneous
Departments a motion was made, and approved, to provide a temporary waiver
for the license requirement. Since that time, the DMV has offered limited in person
services and many by appointment only due to the COVID - 19 Pandemic. One
could estimate that the current extension may exceed the published date of
February 28, 2021.
Staff recommends extending the temporary waiver period to obtain required
license(s) for a period three (3) months post license, endorsements and certificate
extension and/or reinstatement of DMV commercial license renewal services.
