Bill > H4967

This bill aims to promote commercial driver safety. It makes several key changes to the existing law: 1. It updates the definition of "Commercial Driver's License" (CDL) to align with federal regulations. 2. It expands the definition of "Conviction" to include additional violations related to commercial motor vehicles, such as refusing a chemical test or having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.04% or more while operating a commercial vehicle. 3. It broadens the definition of "Serious Traffic Violation" to include more offenses, such as using a mobile device while driving a commercial vehicle. 4. It requires commercial drivers to notify their employers and the Registrar of Motor Vehicles within one business day if their driver's license is suspended, revoked, or cancelled. 5. It increases the civil penalty for commercial drivers who fail to report such changes to their license status. 6. It empowers the Registrar to suspend or revoke a commercial driver's license without a hearing if the driver has committed a violation that poses an immediate threat to public safety or has committed multiple serious traffic violations within a 12-month period.
