Miranda’s Law

This bill would require the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to issue a final rule within 1 year creating a national service that automatically tells employers when a commercial driver's license holder's driving record or license status changes, such as from a conviction, accident, suspension, or revocation. Each state would have to use the service within 2 years after the rule is issued, and it would become part of federal commercial driver license program standards. Employers with drivers who hold a school bus endorsement would have to participate, and schools or school districts that organize or pay for student transportation would count as employers. Participating employers would be exempt from the annual driving record review requirement, and drivers would get a copy of any report sent to their employer at the same time.
