5/25/07-A bill has died that would have prohibited the expungement of records for commercial driver's license holders convicted of or plead guilty to an offense with a person's blood alcohol content of 0.04 percent or above. The bill included a provision about driving while out of service.
Sponsored by Sen. Bill Stouffer, R-Napton, SB50 remained in the Senate Transportation Committee when the session ended, effectively killing it for the year.
First offenders would have been prohibited from driving a commercial motor vehicle for six months. Existing Missouri law calls for a three month ban.
Anyone found in violation a second time within a period of 10 years would have faced a two-year ban from driving truck. Existing rules call for a one-year suspension.
