FMCSA Proposes Rule to Prevent Licenses Being Issued for Drivers with Drug or Alcohol Violations

摘要

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration proposed a rule to prevent state driver's licensing agencies from issuing, renewing, upgrading, or transferring a commercial driver's license (CDL) for anyone prohibited from driving a commercial motor vehicle because of drug or alcohol violations. As part of the proposal, drivers wouldn't be allowed to get their.CDL or commercial learner's permit without completing the return-to-duty requirements. "FMCSA also seeks comment on alternate proposals establishing additional ways state driver's licensing agencies would use information obtained through the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse to increase compliance with the commercial motor vehicle driving prohibition," the agency wrote. "Further, the agency proposes to revise how reports of actual knowledge violations, based on a citation for driving under the influence in a commercial motor vehicle, would be maintained in the Clearinghouse."
