510-AA - Downgrade of commercial driver's licenses.

 
    §  510-aa.  Downgrade  of  commercial  driver's licenses. A commercial
  driver's license  shall  be  downgraded  to  a  non-commercial  driver's
  license  by  the  commissioner within sixty days of the holder's medical
  certification status becoming "not-certified" based upon the  expiration
  of  the holder's medical certification or medical variance documentation
  required by the federal motor carrier safety improvement act of 1999 and
  Part 383.71(h) of title 49 of the code of federal regulations,  or  upon
  the  holder's  failure  to  submit such medical certification or medical
  variance documentation at such intervals  as  required  by  the  federal
  motor carrier safety improvement act of 1999 and Part 383.71(h) of title
  49  of the code of federal regulations and in a manner prescribed by the
  commissioner. A commercial driver's license shall also be downgraded  to
  a  non-commercial driver's license by the commissioner within sixty days
  of the holder's medical certification  status  becoming  "not-certified"
  based  upon  receipt of information from the issuing medical examiner or
  the  federal  motor  carrier  safety  administration  that   a   medical
  certification or medical variance was issued in error or rescinded. Such
  downgrade  shall  be  terminated,  and  the  commercial driver's license
  restored, upon: (1)  the  holder's  submission  of  the  required  valid
  medical examiner's certificate or medical variance documentation; or (2)
  the  holder's self-certification specifying the type of commercial motor
  vehicle operation he or she engages, or expects to engage in,  and  that
  the  holder  is  therefore  not  subject  to  the physical qualification
  requirements of the federal motor carrier safety improvement act of 1999
  and Part 383.71(h) of title 49 of the code of federal  regulations.  The
  commissioner  shall,  upon  a  holder's status becoming "not-certified",
  notify the holder of such commercial driver's  license  by  first  class
  mail to the address of such person on file with the department or at the
  current  address  provided by the United States postal service of his or
  her "not-certified" medical certification status and  that  his  or  her
  commercial  driver's  license  will  be  downgraded  to a non-commercial
  driver's license unless he or she submits a current medical  certificate
  and/or medical variance in accordance with Part 383.71(h) of title 49 of
  the code of federal regulations or changes his or her self-certification
  to  driving  only  in excepted or intrastate commerce in accordance with
  Part 383.71(b)(ii)(B), (C) or (D) of title 49 of  the  code  of  federal
  regulations.
