North Dakota Code 39-06.2-01 - Uniform Commercial Driver's License Act

North Dakota Code > Title 39 > Chapter 39-06.2 > § 39-06.2-01 - Uniform Commercial Driver's License Act

^{Current as of: 2009}

^{Check for updates}

The purpose of this chapter is to implement the federal Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 [title XII of Pub. L. 99-570, 49 U.S.C. 2701, repealed] and Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 [Pub. L. 106-159; 113 Stat. 1748; 49 U.S.C. 113 et seq.] and reduce or prevent commercial motor vehicle accidents, fatalities, and injuries by:

1. Permitting commercial drivers to hold only one license;

2. Disqualifying commercial drivers who have committed certain serious traffic violations or other specified offenses; and

3. Strengthening commercial driver's licensing and testing standards.

This chapter is a remedial law which should be liberally construed to promote the public health, safety, and welfare. To the extent that this chapter conflicts with general driver's licensing provisions, this chapter prevails. Where this chapter is silent, the general driver's licensing provisions apply.
