Bill > A04090

This bill amends the New York vehicle and traffic law to establish a graduated suspension system for commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) when drivers violate local laws related to designated truck routes. Specifically, the bill mandates that if a commercial driver is convicted of violating a local law or regulation about truck routes, their CDL will be suspended for increasing periods of time: 60 days for a first violation, 120 days for a second violation within three years, and one year for a third violation within three years. These suspensions apply to violations of local laws enacted under specific provisions of New York state law that allow cities, villages, and towns to regulate truck routes. The purpose appears to be to encourage commercial drivers to adhere to local truck route regulations by implementing progressively stricter penalties for repeated violations. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law.
