17 Information Card.

16 license, be afforded an opportunity prior to April 1, 1992, to
17 obtain the license. The Secretary is authorized to extend
18 driver's license expiration dates, and assign specific times,
19 dates and locations where these commercial driver's tests shall
20 be conducted. Any applicant, regardless of the current
21 expiration date of the applicant's driver's license, may be
22 subject to any assignment by the Secretary. Failure to comply
23 with the Secretary's assignment may result in the applicant's
24 forfeiture of an opportunity to receive a commercial driver's
25 license prior to April 1, 1992.
