Bill > H0526

This bill amends existing Idaho law to provide for the reinstatement of a commercial driver's license (CDL) under certain circumstances. The key provisions allow a person who has been disqualified from holding a CDL for life to apply for reinstatement after a minimum 10-year disqualification period, provided they meet specific requirements such as having a valid non-commercial driver's license for 3 years, completing defensive driving and professional truck driver courses, submitting a clean criminal background check, and providing proof of rehabilitation if the disqualification was due to alcohol or controlled substance offenses. The bill also specifies that a person who has been reinstated but then commits another major disqualifying offense will not be eligible for future CDL reinstatement. The bill declares an emergency and takes effect on July 1, 2022.
