Bill > S1230

This bill amends existing law to provide for the reinstatement of a commercial driver's license (CDL) under certain circumstances. Specifically, the bill allows a person who has been disqualified from holding a CDL for life due to multiple serious violations to apply for reinstatement after a minimum 10-year disqualification period. To be eligible for reinstatement, the person must have a valid non-commercial driver's license for at least 3 years, meet the requirements for a new CDL applicant, complete defensive driving and professional truck driver courses, submit a clean criminal background check and medical certificate, and provide proof of rehabilitation if the disqualification was due to alcohol or controlled substances. The bill also stipulates that a person reinstated under this provision will lose their CDL again if they are later convicted of another disqualifying major offense.
