National employer notification service

(a) Employer notification service defined In this Act, the term employer notification service means a service that automatically furnishes an employer with a report on the change in the status of the driving record or driver’s license of an employee who has a commercial driver’s license due to a conviction for a moving violation, a failure to appear, an accident, driver’s license suspension, driver’s license revocation, or any other action taken against the driving privilege. (b) Implementation of national Employer Notification Service (1) Requirements Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation, acting through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, shall issue a final regulation requiring the implementation of a national employer notification service that States may access. (2) Considerations Before issuing such final regulation requiring the implementation of a national employer notification service, the Secretary shall consider— (A) the recommendations made by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), including recommendations on annual per driver fees for participating employers, in its report, Employer Notification System Design & Best Practices Recommendations, produced for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration under grant/cooperative agreement number FMCDL–0143–13–01–03; and (B) the results of a pilot program conducted in 2007 under section 4022 of the Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (Public Law 105–178), to assess the feasibility, costs, safety impacts, and benefits of such a system, and to assess methods for efficient exchange of driver safety data from existing State systems.
