Washington – The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on Aug. 2 published a notice of proposed rulemaking (.pdf file) that would eliminate the requirement that commercial driver’s license holders report out-of-state traffic convictions to their licensing state within 30 days.
FMCSA stated in the NPRM that the self-reporting requirement is unnecessary because, under the current CDL regulations, if a state in which the conviction occurred has a certified program, it already is required to report the violation to the licensing state within 10 days.
According to the NPRM, all 51 eligible jurisdictions have certified CDL programs.
