Employees are required to notify their supervisor immediately if the status of their CDL license changes in anyway. Maintenance and Disclosure of Records Except as required or authorized by law, the City will not release driver's information that is contained in records required to be maintained by this policy or FMCSA and DOT regulations. Beginning in 2020, the city will be required to query and report to the agency's Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse prior to hiring new drivers, will conduct annual checks of existing CDL-drivers, and will report certain violations of the DOT drug and alcohol testing program for holders of CDLs. In addition, a driver is entitled, upon written request, to obtain copies of any records pertaining to the driver's use of alcohol or a controlled substance, including any records pertaining to his or her alcohol or controlled substance tests.
