WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor
This bill, the Maryland Commercial Driver's License Act,
implements federal requirements that the states establish a
uniform licensing procedure for operators of specified heavy
trucks and busses and implement stricter standards of behavior
for operating those vehicles.
House Bill 558, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 19, 1989, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 399.
Sincerely,
William Donald Schaefer
Governor
Senate Bill No. 399
AN ACT concerning
Maryland Commercial Driver's License Act

standards; requiring that operators of certain vehicles
impliedly consent to take a chemical breath test if any
alcohol is detected in the operator; disqualifying
individuals from operating commercial motor vehicles upon
convictions of certain offenses; creating a commercial and
noncommercial driver's license classification system;
providing for the issuance of temporary licenses upon
expiration of a driver's license in certain instances;
prohibiting persons from operating a commercial motor
vehicle without having been issued a commercial driver's
license; prohibiting a person from operating a commercial
motor vehicle with a certain alcohol concentration in the
