Detailed Fiscal Analysis
Overview
The bill requires the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to disqualify the holder of a commercial driver's license (CDL) from operating a commercial motor vehicle upon a municipal OVI conviction. This provision would close a loophole in existing law that currently only allows the Registrar to disqualify the holder of a CDL from operating a commercial motor vehicle if that person is convicted of an OVI offense under state law.
The bill also changes the law regarding restricted CDLs and waivers for trucking farm-related service industries. It removes the waiver requirement under current law, as that requirement has been eliminated in federal law. This will bring state law into compliance with federal law. Farmers will continue to not require a CDL to operate their farm trucks when hauling to a point of commerce.
State fiscal effects
According to the Department of Public Safety, the BMV could experience a potential one-time increase in expenditures in the State Bureau of Motor Vehicles Fund (Fund 4W40) for programming costs. Its staff would need to add a new offense code to their database in order to properly track the number of CDL holders who are convicted of an OVI offense under a municipal OVI ordinance. Any expenditures related to this task would likely be negligible.
Local fiscal effects
The bill will have no direct fiscal effect on any of the state's political subdivisions.
