Saying that it would “significantly slow down our members’ ability to hire at the speed needed,” Motion Picture Compliance Solutions requested an exemption from FMCSA’s Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse pre-employment full query.
The motion picture group’s exemption request is scheduled to publish in the Federal Register on Friday, March 6.
Specifically, MPCS seeks an exemption from the requirement that an employer can’t employ a driver who is subject to drug and alcohol testing before conducting a full query of the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. Instead, the group asks for its members to be allowed to conduct a limited query of the Clearinghouse before hiring a driver for a project.
“If the limited query indicates that information about the driver exists in the Clearinghouse, the driver would not be permitted to perform safety-sensitive functions unless and until a full query subsequently shows that the driver is not prohibited from operating a commercial motor vehicle,” the notice stated.
