Where I live; RV; farm exempt; emergency equiptment operations (fire and such); require NOTHING. just a traditional operators license. there is no such thing as NON-commercial Commercial Drivers License.
The FMCSR only applies to CMVs in interstate operation. The idea of state following a Federal Standard on licensing you are right on. But a State has the right to issue licenses and it's own laws for Intrastate travel, The only reason the FMCSR can be applied within any state is because of the Interstate Commerce clause which allows the Feds to have any authority. Regardless, the FMCSR do not apply to non-commercial vehicles even when in interstate travel. When you get into standardization of non CDL licenses, that goes back to something outside the FMCSR, I forget exactly what it's called but IIRC Interstate Compact was part of the title.
Some states do have a non-CDL elevated class license, as you put it for non-CMVs. They vary from state to state. I've heard them referred to as non-CDL, CDLs many times and you are right to point out the oxymoronic content of such a term. IIRC, in my state they are referred to as Restricted Use CDLs.
