39:3-10.14 Request for and provision of driving record and license information.
6. a. Before issuing a commercial driver license to an applicant, the chief administrator shall notify the Commercial Driver License Information System of the proposed issuance and shall request driving record information from the Commercial Driver License Information System, the National Driver Register, and from any other state which has issued a commercial driver license, non-commercial motor vehicle driver license or basic driver license to the applicant to determine whether the applicant has a commercial driver license, non-commercial motor vehicle driver license or basic driver license issued by another state, whether the applicant's driving privilege has been suspended, revoked, cancelled, or whether the applicant has been disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle.
The chief administrator also shall provide driving record and other information to the licensing authority of any other state, or province or territory of Canada, which requests such information in connection with a commercial driver license. The chief administrator may charge such fees as are deemed appropriate to cover the costs of providing information, except that no fee shall be charged if the other jurisdiction does not charge this State for similar requests.
b.Within 10 days after the issuance of a commercial driver license, the chief administrator shall notify the Commercial Driver License Information System of that fact, providing all information required to ensure identification of the licensee.
