submitted 27 years ago by Pub. L. 106-159 to r/title-49-TRANSPORTATION · 165 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary may stop a State from conducting commercial-driver licensing if the State substantially fails to comply with this chapter. Other States may issue qualified nonresident licenses, and earlier licenses remain valid.
(a) General. If the Secretary determines that a State substantially fails to comply with this chapter, the Secretary must order that State to stop its licensing procedures under the chapter and stop issuing commercial driver’s licenses until the Secretary determines that the State substantially complies. (b) Effect on Other States. A different State may issue a nonresident commercial driver’s license to a person domiciled in the barred State if the person meets this chapter and the issuing State’s nonresident requirements. (c) Previously Issued Licenses. The order does not invalidate or otherwise affect licenses issued before the order date.
If the Secretary of Transportation determines that a State is in substantial noncompliance with this chapter, the Secretary shall issue an order to—
prohibit that State from carrying out licensing procedures under this chapter; and
prohibit that State from issuing any commercial driver’s licenses until such time the Secretary determines such State is in substantial compliance with this chapter.
A State (other than a State subject to an order under subsection (a)) may issue a non-resident commercial driver’s license to an individual domiciled in a State that is prohibited from such activities under subsection (a) if that individual meets all requirements of this chapter and the nonresident licensing requirements of the issuing State.
Nothing in this section shall be construed as invalidating or otherwise affecting commercial driver’s licenses issued by a State before the date of issuance of an order under subsection (a) with respect to the State.
