## Summary

**This bill would create a national employer notification service** that automatically alerts an employer when a commercial driver’s license holder has an adverse change to their driving record. It would push the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to set rules and tie the system to school transportation practices and grant funding. - Employers: Employers with one or more employees who hold a commercial driver’s license with a school bus endorsement would have to enroll in the notification service. - School districts and contractors: A school district, local educational agency, or school that organizes or pays for student transport would count as an employer, and a private company paid to provide transport would also be an employer. - Drivers: A driver would receive simultaneous notification and a copy of any report sent to their employer. - States and FMCSA: FMCSA would have to issue a final rule within 1 year and states would have 2 years after that rule to use the service to notify employers. FMCSA must consider recommendations from the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators and a 2007 pilot study. - Program rules and funding: The service would be folded into commercial driver license program standards and noncompliance could carry the program’s consequences. States could treat rollout as an allowable cost under CDL implementation grants and FMCSA may consider employer fees per AAMVA guidance.
