HB 2251 -- Commercial Driver's Licenses

Sponsor:  St. Onge

This bill requires the Department of Revenue to immediately
revoke a commercial driver's license containing a hazardous
materials endorsement upon receipt of an Initial Determination of
Threat Assessment and Immediate Revocation from the federal
Transportation Security Administration and to revoke or deny the
endorsement within 15 days of receipt of a Final Determination of
Threat Assessment from the federal administration.

"Hazardous materials" is defined as any material that has been
designated as hazardous under 49 U.S.C. 5103 and is required to
be placarded under subpart F of 49 C.F.R. Part 172 or any
quantity of a material listed as a select agent or toxin in 42
C.F.R. Part 73.

Any person convicted of driving while out of service will be
disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle in the
manner specified by federal regulations.

Failure to appear by a commercial driver's license holder or
operator of a commercial vehicle will be a commercial driver's
license offense requiring indefinite suspension until he or she
is in compliance.

The bill revises the definition of "farm vehicle" to clarify that
it is a commercial motor vehicle operated by a farmer
transporting agricultural products, machinery, supplies, or a
combination of these to or from the farm within 150 miles.
