Event Overview

Federal and most State law prohibits the “Masking” of convictions. Misconceptions continue to persist surrounding this statute’s mandate requiring the reporting of CDL/CMV violations and convictions and prosecutors’ discretion to negotiate these cases. Attendees will appreciate how the enforcement of this, and other regulations combine to reduce injury and death by keeping unsafe commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders off the roads and assuring that each driver has one driver’s license and one complete driver’s record.

Participants will be able to:

  • Understand the Federal definition of “Masking,” “Conviction” and “Disqualification” pursuant to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations

  • Learn about the ethical consequences of Masking

  • Explore various techniques and skills to educate other professionals on Masking

This course is free and open to traffic safety stakeholders which includes but is not limited to prosecutors, law enforcement, clerks, judges and driver’s license agencies.  Attendees will be reimbursed for travel and expenses based on eligibility.*
