Notation

      RELATES TO: KRS Chapter 281A, 49 CFR Part 383

      STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 281A.010, 281A.040, 281A.130, 281A.140, 281A.160, 281A.270, 49 CFR Part 383

      NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: At many places in KRS Chapter 281, 49 CFR Part 383 is referred to as adopted by the Transportation Cabinet. However, many of the provisions of 49 CFR Part 383 are spelled out in KRS Chapter 281A. To avoid any possibility of conflict, the Transportation Cabinet in this administrative regulation is specifically setting forth those sections of 49 CFR Part 383 which in addition to KRS Chapter 281A, shall govern commercial driver's licenses in Kentucky.
