Requiring that a state employee with a commercial driver’s license have a current medical evaluation certification

HB 2345 requires state employees who hold a commercial driver's license (CDL) to maintain a current medical evaluation certification and prohibits them from obtaining a medical waiver for this requirement. The bill directly affects West Virginia state employees who operate commercial vehicles as part of their job duties. It mandates that the state commissioner adopt rules ensuring these employees meet active medical fitness standards, replacing any previous allowance for medical waivers. This policy change updates safety protocols for state vehicle operators by enforcing ongoing medical compliance.
