Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse – II

Join Bryan Price, Chief of Drug & Alcohol Policy and Compliance at FMCSA, as he presents the latest updates on the second Clearinghouse final rule (Clearinghouse-II). Starting November 18, 2024, this rule ensures that only qualified drivers hold a CDL by requiring State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) to revoke the commercial driving privileges of drivers listed as "prohibited" in the Clearinghouse, leading to a CDL downgrade until the return-to-duty (RTD) process is completed.

During this session, Bryan will also cover essential requirements under Clearinghouse-II, including mandatory Clearinghouse queries by SDLAs before issuing, renewing, upgrading, or transferring CDLs and CLPs, and the review of a driver’s information upon a status change notification from FMCSA. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how SDLAs with legislative authority can proactively query the Clearinghouse and downgrade CDLs for prohibited drivers ahead of the November 18, 2024 compliance deadline.
