7/12/05-A bill that sought to suspend the CDLs of drivers involved in certain fatal accidents has died.
SB2034, sponsored by Sen. Chris Lauzen, R-Aurora, remained in the Senate Transportation Committee at the deadline for bills to advance from the committee, effectively killing it for the year.
The bill called for a six-month CDL suspension for any commercial drivers involved in fatal wrecks. However, if it is indicated in a police report or ruled by a court “a person who died as a result of the accident caused the accident,” the CDL would not have been suspended.
In addition to the license suspension provision, the bill called for the CDL holder to complete 100 hours of community service before the license would be restored.
It did not contain similar provisions for non-commercial drivers.
