Bill > SB2335

This bill amends Mississippi law to change how certain moving violations are handled for holders of a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). Currently, a CDL holder is subject to specific penalties for moving violations. This bill proposes that if a CDL holder commits a moving violation while driving a vehicle that *doesn't* require a CDL, or if the traffic ticket doesn't specifically indicate it's a CDL-related violation, that violation will be treated the same as if it were committed by someone with a regular driver's license. This means the penalties and consequences would be less severe than those typically applied to CDL holders for such offenses, referencing Section 63-1-47 for how regular licenses are treated. However, this change will not apply to moving violations covered under Chapter 11 of Title 63, which likely pertains to more serious offenses related to CDL operation.
