What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits a person from operating a commercial motor vehicle

(CMV) while the person or the CMV is ordered out-of-service under state or federal

law or while the motor carrier responsible for safety of the CMV has in effect a federal

out-of-service order for unsatisfactory safety compliance (out-of-service violation).

A person who commits an out-of-service violation must forfeit $2,500 for the first

offense and $5,000 for any subsequent offense within a ten-year period and, with an

exception, is further disqualified from operating a CMV for 90 days for the first

offense, two years for a second offense within a ten-year period, or three years for

a third or subsequent offense within a ten-year period.

Under this bill, a person who commits a first offense out-of-service violation

is disqualified from operating a CMV for 180 days, rather than 90 days.
