In less than a year CDL Drivers in a “prohibited” status in the Clearinghouse will lose their commercial driving privileges. The second Clearinghouse final rule (Clearinghouse-II) compliance date—November 18, 2024— is less than a year away. As part of these new Federal requirements, CDL drivers who have open violations in FMCSA’s Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse will soon lose their commercial driving privileges. FMCSA added the following frequently asked questions on the Clearinghouse website to help CDL drivers understand the new regulations, and what actions they can take to retain or reinstate their commercial driving privileges, if needed. How will the second Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse final rule (Clearinghouse-II) affect CDL drivers? As established in the first Clearinghouse final rule (81 FR 87686), drivers with a “prohibited” Clearinghouse status are prohibited from operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). The second Clearinghouse final rule (Clearinghouse-II) further supports this by ensuring that drivers with a “prohibited” Clearinghouse status do not continue to hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL) or commercial learner’s permit (CLP). The Clearinghouse-II final rule (86 FR 55718) requires that, beginning November 18, 2024, State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) must remove the commercial driving privileges from the driver's license of an individual subject to the CMV driving prohibition. This would result in a downgrade of the license until the driver completes the return-to-duty (RTD) process. This means that, beginning November 18, 2024, having a “prohibited” Clearinghouse status will result in losing or being denied a CDL or CLP. Note: SDLAs with legislative authority currently have the option to voluntarily query the Clearinghouse and downgrade CDLs for prohibited drivers and may do so before the November 18, 2024 compliance date. How will the second Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse final rule (Clearinghouse-II) improve safety on our Nation’s roads? The requirement to downgrade commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) of drivers in a “prohibited” Clearinghouse status rests on the safety-critical premise that drivers who cannot lawfully operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) because they engaged in prohibited use of drugs or alcohol or refused a drug or alcohol test should not hold a valid CDL or commercial learner’s permit (CLP). The Clearinghouse-II final rule (86 FR 55718) supports FMCSA’s goal of ensuring that only qualified drivers are eligible to receive and retain a CDL, thereby reducing the number and severity of CMV crashes.

Our legal lead on the Pharmacy Podcast Network, Darshan Kulkarni shares a blog on #TelePharmacy and regulatory agencies. Pharmacies have been significantly impacted by recent actions and increased scrutiny surrounding telepharmacy practices. Regulatory bodies like the Department of Justice (DOJ), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are actively investigating and penalizing telepharmacy companies for inappropriate practices like misleading advertising, unauthorized prescription methods, and fraudulent schemes. Understanding these changes and knowing how to navigate them is essential for pharmacies to remain compliant and avoid potential legal and financial repercussions.
