Section 49-335
(13) A person who is disqualified from holding a commercial driver's license pursuant to 49 CFR 383.51 and subsection (4) of this section may make application to the department for reinstatement after a minimum ten (10) year period of disqualification. (a) To be eligible for reinstatement following a lifetime disqualification under 49 CFR 383.51 and pursuant to subsection (4) of this section, a person shall: (i) Have a valid class D driver's license from Idaho or any other jurisdiction for a minimum of three (3) consecutive years prior to the date of application, provided that during such three (3) year period the applicant has not been incarcerated; (ii) Meet all statutory requirements for issuance of a commercial driver's license or commercial learner's permit as a new commercial driver applicant; (iii) Voluntarily and successfully complete the national safety council four (4) hour defensive driving course and the professional truck driver four (4) hour course and provide proof of completion of both courses to the department; (iv) Submit a valid medical examiner's certificate, if applicable; (v) Submit a criminal background check showing that the applicant has not been convicted of any alcohol or drug-related offenses for the ten (10) years prior to the date of application; and (vi) If the lifetime disqualification was based on an alcohol or controlled substance conviction, submit proof of the applicant's successful completion of an appropriate rehabilitation program. (b) A person who has been reinstated and issued a commercial driver's license under this subsection who subsequently is convicted of a disqualifying major offense under 49 CFR 383.51 shall not be eligible for future reinstatement of a commercial driver's license. (c) The driving records for a person applying for reinstatement under this subsection shall be reviewed by the department. Such driving records shall include records regarding Idaho as well as any other jurisdiction. To be eligible for reinstatement as set forth in this subsection, such records for the ten (10) years preceding the date of application for reinstatement must be free of any convictions occurring in a commercial vehicle, any convictions or withdrawals related to alcohol or drugs, and any felony convictions involving a motor vehicle. Within the three (3) years preceding the date of application for reinstatement, the person's driving record must be free of any convictions requiring a mandatory withdrawal of driving privileges, whether in this state or any other jurisdiction. (d) If a person has moved from another jurisdiction that issued the lifetime disqualification, that jurisdiction must be willing to reinstate the disqualification or the person will remain ineligible for a commercial driver's license in Idaho.
This addition establishes a process by which individuals disqualified from holding a commercial driver's license can apply for reinstatement after a specified period, subject to certain requirements.
