AI Summary
This bill requires that state and county firefighters who are exempt from needing a commercial driver's license (CDL) must follow an alcohol and substance abuse policy for employees that is at least as strict as the safety and health standards set by the United States Department of Transportation for individuals who hold a CDL. A commercial driver's license is a special license required for operating large or heavy vehicles, and the Department of Transportation sets rules to ensure the safety of these operations.
