this chapter in this state or a motor vehicle conviction in another

state and license revocation. 1. A driver who receives a notice that his

or her license, permit or privilege to operate a motor vehicle has been

revoked, suspended or withdrawn or who is convicted of a violation of

such provisions of this chapter as shall constitute a misdemeanor or a

felony in any jurisdiction shall notify the motor carrier that employs

such person of the contents of the notice before the end of the business

day following the day he or she received it. A driver who fails to

notify his or her employer of such suspension, revocation or conviction

of a violation of such provisions of this chapter as shall constitute a

misdemeanor or a felony shall be subject to a five (5) working day

suspension, or a suspension equivalent to the number of working days

such driver was not in compliance with this article, whichever is

longer.

1-a. A driver who is convicted of a traffic infraction in any

jurisdiction shall notify his or her employer within five (5) working

days from the date of conviction. A driver who fails to notify his or

her employer of such conviction within the five (5) working day period

shall be subject to a five (5) working day suspension; provided,

however, that a first such infraction occurring on or before September

sixteenth, nineteen hundred eighty-six, shall not subject such violator

to the said suspension.

1-b. A driver who is involved in an accident of a nature or type set

forth in section five hundred nine-a of this article in any jurisdiction

shall notify his or her employer within five working days from the date

of the accident. A driver who fails to notify his or her employer of

such accident within the five working day period shall be subject to a

five working day suspension.

2. Any driver who is convicted of an offense listed in section five

hundred nine-c of this article that would disqualify such driver from

operating a bus shall provide notice of such conviction in writing by

the following business day to the motor carrier that employs such

person. The motor carrier shall not permit any driver who fails to

provide such notice to operate a bus.

3. The commissioner upon receipt of information that a driver's

license, permit or privilege to operate a motor vehicle has been

revoked, suspended or withdrawn in this state or elsewhere shall notify

all motor carriers who have notified the commissioner of the employment

of such driver; and may, if requested by a political subdivision which

contracts with a motor carrier for the transportation of school

children, provide such notice to the political subdivision.

4. In addition to the requirements of subdivision three of this

section, the commissioner shall notify the motor carrier of any

conviction for any traffic violation or accident resulting from

operation of a motor vehicle against a bus driver employed by the motor

carrier, shall require payment of the fee necessary to defray the cost

of the notification, and shall require all motor carriers to establish

an escrow account with the department which shall be used to pay for the

costs incurred by the department when it informs the motor carrier of a

driver's conviction or accident; and may, if requested by a political

subdivision which contracts with a motor carrier for the transportation

of school children, provide such notice to the political subdivision.
