REFERRED TO COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION, FEBRUARY 10, 2017
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Declaring that the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania is opposed to the enactment and enforcement of a
State law, under a Federal mandate, that requires the
suspension or revocation, or the delay of issuance or
reinstatement, of the driver's license of an individual
convicted of a violation of the Controlled Substances Act or
another drug offense; urging the Governor to submit a written
certification stating the Governor's opposition to the State
law along with this resolution to the United States Secretary
of Transportation; and accordingly preventing the United
States Secretary of Transportation from withholding a
specified percentage of Federal transportation apportionments
under 23 U.S.C. § 159.
WHEREAS, Under 23 U.S.C. § 159(a)(3)(A), in the absence of
compelling circumstances warranting an exception, for an
individual who is convicted of a violation of the Controlled
Substances Act (Public Law 91-513, 84 Stat. 1236) or a drug
offense, a state generally must enact and enforce a law
requiring:
(1) the revocation or suspension of the driver's license
of the individual for at least six months; or
(2) a delay in the issuance or reinstatement of the
driver's license of the individual for at least six months
