| Summary of Issue | OOSC Part 1, B(3)Operating a passenger-carrying vehicle without a valid medical certificate in possession. Reference listed below the section is Inspection bulletin 2010-07 Enforcement of medical certificate on passenger carrying vehicle drivers. In the bulletin it states that a passenger carrying driver will be placed out of service if the medical certificate is not in possession. |
| Justification or Need | Inspectors are getting confused because they reference the bulletin and assume that a CDL passenger carrying driver still needs to have the medical card in possession, even though it is on the CDLIS return. |
| Request for Action | Amend the bulletin to include the 391.41(a)(2) CDL/CLP exception wording. Also adding a note to (3) \"Note: If a CDL holder's CDLIS return indicates the medical status is valid, there is no violation.\" Or something like that. |
