摘要：FMCSA 宣布收到七名个人的豁免申请，旨在解除《联邦汽车运输安全管理条例》（FMCSRs）中对癫痫或其他可能导致失去意识的疾病患者驾驶商业机动车（CMV）的禁令。如果获得批准，这些曾经历过一次或多次癫痫发作并正在服用抗癫痫药物的个人将能够在州际商业中驾驶 CMV。这一变化可能会影响到相关的华人司机和车队，尤其是在招聘和驾驶员资格方面。

If granted, the exemptions would enable these individuals who have had one or more seizures and are taking anti-seizure medication to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.
