FMCSA Publishes Rule to Link Driver Medical Certification with the CDL

Courtesy of MTA

On Dec. 1, 2008, the Federal Motor Carrier Administration (FMCSA) published a final rule linking a driver's medical certificate with his CDL. Comments filed by ATA were taken into account in finalizing the rule. Under the rule, interstate CDL holders subject to the federal physical qualification requirements will have to provide a current copy of their medical examiner's certificate to their state driver licensing agency (SDLA). Additionally, the SDLA must record on the CDL Information System (CDLIS) driver record the driver's medical certificate. The DOT, enforcement personnel, motor carriers and drivers will be the only entities given access to the CDLIS motor vehicle record. The rule goes into effect on Jan. 30, 2009. However, States have until Jan. 30, 2012 to fully comply and all CDL holders subject to the physical qualification rules must submit their medical certification information to the SDLAs by Jan. 30, 2014.
