What This Bill Does

This bill expands and modifies a commercial vehicle operator safety screening program to allow the motor carrier industry to access an individual operator's crash and serious safety violation inspection history during employment. Under current law, this Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) program provides information for pre-employment screening.

The bill also directs FMCSA to revise the appeals process for DataQs to require an appeal to be decided by a person other than the person that issued the violation. DataQs is the online system for motor carriers and commercial motor vehicle drivers to request and track a review of federal and state crash and inspection data that the requestor believes is incomplete or incorrect.
