                                                Tomorrow: S2S Driver History Record (DHR)
                                                Administration Training
                                                AAMVA is offering a DHR Administration training course on October 19, 2021, from
                                                1:30 pm ET to 4:00 pm ET. DHR Administration provides states with new measures
                                                to improve the administration of non-CDL driver history (DH). Specifically, DHR
                                                supports the electronic exchange of out-of-state convictions and withdrawals,
                                                provides visibility of individuals that may have more than one DHR, and sets rules
                                                for maintaining DH in a standardized manner, all specifically for non-CDLIS drivers.

                                                It is recommended that attendees have prior knowledge of S2S and/or represent a
                                                state that is already participating in S2S. This course focuses on DHR
                                                Administration. For other S2S related training courses, please refer to intevista

                                                AAMVA is now offering a Best Practices for Potential Duplicate Resolution training

                                                potential duplicates is one of the most critical functions that S2S provides and is
                                                instrumental in allowing S2S participants to limit a person to one driver license and,
                                                where applicable, one REAL ID credential. This training provides S2S states
                                                guidance on the best practices for resolving potential duplicates identified for their
                                                state.

                                                It is highly recommended that you have prior knowledge of S2S or have already
                                                implemented S2S when taking this class. This class does not cover any other

                                                (Saskatchewan)
                                                SGI wants to hear from members of the public and stakeholders about potential
                                                regulation of electric scooters on public roads. Currently, e-scooters are classified as
                                                unlicensed motor vehicles. Under The Traffic Safety Act, unlicensed vehicles are not

                                                NCHRP Project Statement on Harmonization of State AV
                                                Law
                                                More than two-thirds of states have enacted automated vehicle (AV) legislation, an
                                                executive order regarding AVs, or with both. AV laws and regulations may differ with
                                                respect to licensing, registration, operator requirements, equipment, insurance,
                                                platooning, cell phone use, crash reporting, passenger restrictions (e.g., school
                                                buses), and operational restrictions (e.g., weather), among other items. The
                                                American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) plays a
                                                crucial role in the development of highway standards that transition into federal and
                                                state law. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) plays a
                                                crucial role in setting safety standards for AVs. Conversely, there are no federal laws
                                                regarding vehicle title and registration. The American Association of Motor Vehicle
                                                Administrators (AAMVA) has guidelines for the safe testing and deployment of AVs
                                                that are voluntary and provide recommendations for state law enactments in general
                                                rather than specific terms. Differences in state AV laws can lead to friction in state
                                                border crossings and may negatively impact transportation safety, how companies
                                                deploy, and interstate commerce. Without a consistent deployment framework, AV
                                                technology will not be achieved nationwide. Read more at apps.trb.org.

                                                Vendor Registration Information
                                                FMCSA has requested a renewal of its information collection activities related to
                                                electronic logging device (ELD) vendor certification and registration. ELD vendors
                                                must self-certify and register their devices with FMCSA online via Form MCSA–
                                                5893, ‘‘Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Vendor Registration and Certification.’’
                                                FMCSA expects 100% of respondents to submit their information electronically.
                                                Once completed, FMCSA issues a unique identification number that the ELD vendor
                                                will embed in their device(s). FMCSA maintains a list on its website of the current
                                                ELD vendors and devices that have been certified (by the vendors) to meet the
                                                functional specifications. The information is necessary for fleets and drivers to easily
                                                find a compliant ELD for their use in meeting the FMCSA regulation requiring the
                                                use of ELDs. Read more at govinfo.gov.

                                                Requirements
                                                The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has submitted a request
                                                to renew its information collection regarding medical qualification requirements. The
                                                renewal request relates to the following six information collection activities – physical
                                                qualification standards, resolution of medical conflict, medical exemptions, the SPE
                                                Certificate Program, the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners, and the
                                                qualifications of drivers – diabetes standard. FMCSA cites the respondents for this

                                                       The United States House of Representatives sent legislation raising the statutory
                                                       debt ceiling by $480 billion to President Joe Biden's desk on a 219-206 vote. The
                                                       House used a procedure known as "deem and pass" where upon adoption of a
                                                       separate rule for floor debate (H Res 716), the debt limit measure (S 1301) was
                                                       considered cleared. The Senate passed the measure last week, 50-48, after 11
                                                       Republicans voted for cloture to get over the 60-vote hurdle to end debate and bring
                                                       the bill to a final vote with a simple majority threshold. The short-term measure will
                                                       give the Treasury Department enough borrowing room to last into December before
                                                       lawmakers would need to act again.

                                                       been reached. More than 1 billion vehicle checks for unfixed safety recalls have
                                                       been processed through the Vehicle Recall Search Service (VRSS), the auto
                                                       industry’s groundbreaking collaboration with CARFAX. An increasing number of
                                                       state governments and businesses have been using VRSS since its March 2018
