Sec. 6-521. Rulemaking Authority.
(a) The Secretary of State, using the
authority to license motor vehicle operators under this Code, may adopt
such rules and regulations as may be necessary to establish standards,
policies and procedures for the licensing and sanctioning of commercial
motor vehicle
drivers in order to meet the requirements of the Commercial Motor Vehicle
Act of 1986 (CMVSA); subsequent federal rulemaking under 49 C.F.R. Part
383 or Part 1572; and administrative and policy decisions of the U.S.
Secretary of
Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The Secretary may,
as provided in the CMVSA, establish stricter requirements for the licensing
of commercial motor vehicle drivers than those established by the federal
government.
(b) By January 1, 1994, the Secretary of State shall establish rules and
regulations for the issuance of a
restricted commercial driver's license
for farm-related service industries
consistent with federal guidelines. The restricted license
shall be available for a seasonal period or periods not to exceed a total of
180 days in any 12 month period.
(c) (Blank).
(d) By July 1, 1995, the Secretary of State shall
establish rules and regulations for the issuance and cancellation
of a School Bus Driver's Permit. The permit shall be required for
the operation of a school bus as provided in subsection (c), a non-restricted
CDL
with passenger endorsement, or a properly classified driver's
license. The permit will establish that the school bus driver has
met all the requirements of the application and screening process
established by Section 6-106.1 of this Code.
