11 Drivers Given Epilepsy Exemptions
The FMCSA exempted 11 individuals from the federal rule that normally bars interstate commercial drivers who have an established history or diagnosis of epilepsy or a condition likely to cause loss of consciousness. These 11 people have had one or more seizures and are taking anti‑seizure medication, and the exemption lets them operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce so they can keep working without extra costs or delays.
