TO MEMORIALIZE CONGRESS TO ENACT LEGISLATION TO POSTPONE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT OF 1986 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE DATE FOR THE LICENSING OF COMMERCIAL DRIVERS SHALL NOT TAKE EFFECT UNTIL APRIL 2, 1993.
Whereas, the implementation of the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 has resulted in requiring all commercial truck drivers to be tested for the purposes of interstate commerce; and
Whereas, the new commercial motor vehicle licensing requirements have created a hardship for many of the motor vehicle carriers and commercial truck drivers of our country and State; and
Whereas, many professional truck drivers are currently faced with the hardship of losing their employment if they fail to become licensed under the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 by April 2, 1992; and
Whereas, it is not overly burdensome to postpone the implementation of the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 as it relates to the requirement that all commercial drivers be licensed by April 2, 1992. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the State of South Carolina memorialize Congress to enact legislation to postpone until April 2, 1993, the requirement that all commercial drivers be licensed under the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to each house of Congress, each member of the South Carolina delegation, and the Secretary of Transportation of the United States.
