Bill > HR7429

This bill, known as the "Miranda Vargas School Bus Driver Red Flag Act" or "Miranda's Law," mandates that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a part of the Department of Transportation, establish a national employer notification service. This service will automatically inform employers about significant changes to their employees' driving records or licenses, such as moving violations, failures to appear in court, accidents, or license suspensions or revocations, specifically for those holding a commercial driver's license (CDL). The FMCSA is required to issue a final regulation for this service within one year of the bill's enactment, considering recommendations from the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) and the results of a past pilot program. States will then have two years to implement this service, and it will become a mandatory part of the CDL program. Notably, employers with employees holding a CDL with a school bus endorsement must participate, and schools and school districts will be considered employers if they arrange or pay for student transportation. Employers participating in this service will be exempt from the current requirement of annually checking their employees' driving records, and employees will receive simultaneous notification when their employer is informed of a driving record change.
