🚚Proposed Rule to Eliminate CDL Self-Reporting Requirement

FMCSA proposes to revise its regulations requiring commercial driver's license (CDL) holders to self-report motor vehicle violations to their State of domicile. With the implementation of the exclusive electronic exchange of violations between State drivers licensing agencies (SDLAs) in 2024, self-reporting is no longer necessary. This action supports the Administration's deregulatory efforts.

🎬DISA Entertainment's Drug and Alcohol Testing Exemption Renewal

FMCSA announces its final decision to renew the exemption granted to DISA Entertainment Compliance Solutions (DECS), formerly known as Motion Picture Compliance Solutions, from the requirement that an employer must not employ a driver who is subject to drug and alcohol testing to perform safety-sensitive functions prior to conducting a full query of the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (Clearinghouse). The exemption renewal allows DECS members that employ commercial driver's license (CDL) holders to conduct a limited query of the Clearinghouse before hiring a driver for a project. If the limited query indicates that information about the driver exists in the Clearinghouse, the driver is not permitted to perform safety-sensitive functions unless and until a full query subsequently shows that the driver is not prohibited from operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). FMCSA has analyzed the exemption application and the public comments and has determined that the exemption, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, is likely to achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved in the absence of the exemption.

🚛FMCSA Notice on Drug Testing Exemption Renewal Application

FMCSA announces that it has received an application from DISA Entertainment Compliance Solutions (DECS), formerly known as Motion Picture Compliance Solutions, to renew its exemption from the requirement that an employer must not employ a driver who is subject to drug and alcohol testing to perform safety-sensitive functions prior to conducting a full query of the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (Clearinghouse) on behalf of its members that employ commercial driver's license (CDL) holders.

If the limited query indicates that information about the driver exist in the Clearinghouse, the driver would not be permitted to perform safety-sensitive functions unless and until a full query subsequently shows that the driver is not prohibited from operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV).
