Drug Offender's Driver's License Suspension

The Drug Offender's Driver's License Suspension Law, 23 U.S.C. 159, requires the withholding of certain Federal-aid highway funds from States that do not enact either legislation requiring the revocation or suspension of an individual's driver's license upon conviction for any violation of the Controlled Substances Act or any drug offense, or a resolution opposing such legislation. The NHTSA and the FHWA had joint responsibility for administering the law. The statute's implementing regulation appeared in Chapter II of 23 CFR, which contains regulations jointly administered by the two agencies. Responsibility for administering the law has since been redelegated to FHWA alone. This final rule removes the implementing regulation from Chapter II of 23 CFR, and places it in Chapter I of 23 CFR, which contains regulations administered only by FHWA.
