What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT) administers an employer notification program. The program permits an employer of a commercial motor vehicle driver to register the driver's name with DOT and to be informed by DOT whenever a traffic-related conviction, suspension, revocation, cancellation, disqualification, or out-of-service order is recorded on the person's driving record.

This bill extends the employer notification program to allow an employer to register an employee who does not operate a commercial motor vehicle if the employee's employment responsibilities include the operation of any motor vehicle.
