# 49 U.S.C. § 31312 - Decertification authority
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) In General.— If the Secretary of Transportation determines that a State is in substantial noncompliance with this chapter, the Secretary shall issue an order to—
|
||
|
||
(1) prohibit that State from carrying out licensing procedures under this chapter; and
|
||
|
||
(2) prohibit that State from issuing any commercial driver’s licenses until such time the Secretary determines such State is in substantial compliance with this chapter.
|
||
|
||
(b) Effect on Other States.— A State (other than a State subject to an order under subsection (a)) may issue a non-resident commercial driver’s license to an individual domiciled in a State that is prohibited from such activities under subsection (a) if that individual meets all requirements of this chapter and the nonresident licensing requirements of the issuing State.
|
||
|
||
(c) Previously Issued Licenses.— Nothing in this section shall be construed as invalidating or otherwise affecting commercial driver’s licenses issued by a State before the date of issuance of an order under subsection (a) with respect to the State.
|
||
|
||
(Added Pub. L. 106–159, title II, § 203(a), Dec. 9, 1999, 113 Stat. 1762.)
