SB 1300 - This act requires the Department of Revenue to access the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse at the time of application for a commercial driver's license (CDL) or commercial driver's instruction permit (CLP), and determine whether the applicant is prohibited from operating a commercial motor vehicle for violations of certain alcohol or controlled-substance laws. Additionally, if the Department of Revenue receives notice from the Clearinghouse that the holder of a Missouri CDL or CLP is prohibited from operating a commercial motor vehicle by alcohol or controlled-substance laws, the Department shall downgrade the license or permit and record the downgrade on the Commercial Driver's License Information System driver record within 60 days. If the Department receives notice from the Clearinghouse that the driver is no longer prohibited from operation, the Department shall terminate the downgrade or allow for license or permit reinstatement, as applicable. If the Department receives notice from the Clearinghouse that the driver was erroneously identified as being prohibited from operation, the Department shall reinstate the CDL or CLP and expunge the downgrade from the driver's record.
