What changed
FMCSA removed a duplicative federal requirement for CDL holders to notify their state of domicile about certain motor-vehicle convictions. State licensing agencies exchange conviction information electronically.
What remains
Convictions can still affect a motor-vehicle record, CDL status, insurance and employment. Employer policies, court instructions and state-specific requirements may create separate duties.
Protect your record
Keep the disposition, check the motor-vehicle record for accuracy, notify the carrier when required and respond quickly to any suspension or disqualification notice.
