New Massachusetts law fixes truck driver rule

Jan 24, 2025 at 02:50 PM CST

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has signed into law a bill that will help hundreds of bus and truck drivers keep their driving privileges.

The new law followed steps taken by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles that threatened to disqualify nearly 500 commercial drivers.

In August, the agency sent notifications to affected individuals that they would soon lose their CDLs. Bus and truck drivers who had certain offenses while operating personal vehicles nearly two decades ago or longer were placed on notice.
