- Sep 13, 2022Johnson Insurance Services, LLC a division of Johnson Financial GroupSupportBusiness📎 Attachment
The commenter, representing Johnson Insurance Services LLC, requests a formal interpretation of FMCSA regulations to allow parent companies to share Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse query results with their subsidiaries. They argue that this would reduce administrative costs, eliminate redundant queries for drivers working for multiple entities, and streamline the consent process.
Read comment → - Oct 16, 2025Girolamo TringaliSupportIndividual📎 Attachment
Girolamo Tringali is proposing a rule change to 49 CFR § 383.25 to allow Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) holders a "second chance" if they fail their first DOT preemployment drug test. The commenter argues that this would allow first-time offenders to clear a "soft" violation from their record and continue their training if they pass a subsequent test, provided they do not fail a second time.
