]]> Dear Blueline Clients,

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced yesterday that they will be increasing the minimum annual percentage rate for random drug testing for drivers of commercial motor vehicles (with CDLs) from the current rate of 25% to 50% of the average number of a carrier’s drivers.

This new program change will be effective beginning on January 1st, 2020.

If Blueline currently manages random testing of your DOT drivers, we will implement these new program changes for you. But we wanted to make you aware of this announcement and prepared for the random rate increase beginning in January.

The random drug testing process will remain exactly the same. The minimum annual percentage rate for random alcohol testing will remain at 10%.

To see more detailed information about this change, you can view the DOT’s official notice here.

Thank you for your continued business, please feel free to reach out to us with any questions!

]]> The Clean Slate Act is now in effect in Pennsylvania. This means that Pennsylvania will now automatically seal misdemeanor records of those who were not found guilty, those whose charges were dropped, and those who committed low-level offenses if they have remained crime-free for 10 years.

This new act is aimed to help those who haven’t committed serious crimes or who have proven good behavior over the past 10 years. Removal of these records will help these individuals when they are in need of housing, jobs, or education.

Pennsylvania’s Clean Slate act is the first of its kind in the nation to automatically seal certain criminal records via technology.

Please note that if you live in or hire those that have lived in the state of Pennsylvania, this new legislation will impact records that you will receive.

If you have any questions regarding the new law, please contact the court directly for additional details or see the bill here online. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us anytime.
