1/30/08-The House Transportation Committee voted to kill a bill that focused on how truck drivers are tested for alcohol and drugs in the state.
Sponsored by Delegate Danny Bowling, D-Oakwood, HB1224 would have required the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles to set up a program mandating truck drivers submit to random and unannounced drug and alcohol tests. CDL holders also would have been responsible for picking up the tab for the program.
