A new law in Wyoming adopts federal truck rules and ensures the state doesn’t lose out on some government funding.
Gov. Matt Mead has signed into law a bill to put the state in accordance with the FMCSA’s 2012 medical certification requirements.
CDL holders operating interstate must submit a copy of their medical certificate to the state DOT. Failure to do so by Jan. 30, 2014, would result in the loss of commercial driving privileges or in having their CDL downgraded.
The federal government mandates that states adopt the provision before Jan. 30, 2012, to avoid non-compliance. Failure to comply in the first year could cost a state 5 percent of federal highway funds. The percent of funds lost would increase to 10 percent for the second or subsequent years of noncompliance.
