Lawmakers on Beacon Hill are considering action to stop the Registry of Motor Vehicles from suddenly yanking the licenses of hundreds of bus and truck drivers across the state.The move is largely based on infractions from decades ago, and despite weeks of asking, the Registry still won’t say why this is happening now.Whatever the reason, it is upending the lives of drivers, including one featured in a NewsCenter 5 report who has now lost his job.After NewsCenter 5 started asking questions about hundreds of suspension notices the RMV suddenly mailed out last month, the agency slowed down its process and is giving drivers a chance to appeal.But the Registry doesn’t have to suspend many of these commercial licenses. The agency says its hands are tied by a tough state law, but that law also gives the RMV an offramp, which some lawmakers think they might have to force it to take.Mike McDonald, a truck driver at Ground Effects Landscaping in Carver, first spoke to NewsCenter 5 last month after he suddenly got a letter from the RMV saying he would lose his commercial driver’s license less than a week later based largely on an OUI he had in 1987. Since that initial interview, another RMV letter showed up at McDonald’s home, yanking his passenger license because of an OUI in 1984.The new letter is dated Aug. 28, 2024, but inexplicably says his passenger license would be suspended until March 4, 1985. It is, however, now showing as suspended on the RMV’s website, putting McDonald in the fast lane to losing his job last week.McDonald’s infractions happened decades before he drove a truck. And when he first applied for a commercial driver’s license known as a CDL seven years ago, the RMV made him plead his case to the state Board of Appeal, which ordered the Registry to reinstate his driving rights, despite reviewing his full record. So, it’s not clear why he or nearly 500 other truck or bus drivers across the state are facing sudden suspensions now when they believed the infractions were in their rearview mirror.State Sen. Patrick O’Connor sits on the Transportation Committee and calls what the RMV is doing “wildly unfair.””Their whole life, their whole career, could be taken away from them because of something they did 30, 40 years ago,” O’Connor said. “We didn’t do our homework and our paperwork properly at that point in time, and so now we are going to go back and arbitrarily take that away from you, retroactively take that away from you?”The RMV says Massachusetts state law automatically disqualifies drivers for life from holding a CDL for two or more of a long list of infractions, but that law also allows the Registry to cap any disqualification period at 10 years. Doing that would bring Massachusetts in line with federal rules and many other states.”Clearly, 10 years is a more than reasonable time period,” said state Rep. Brian Murray, vice chair of the Transportation Committee. Rep. Murray says he is open to legislation forcing the Registry to shorten the disqualification period.”When you’re looking at offenses that are 30, 40 years ago, the relevancy in terms of determining whether that operator is safe today really is not there,” he said. “Perhaps it’s time for the legislators to set down those guardrails.”O’Connor thinks there needs to be more nuance in the state’s enforcement.”I think that we need to be smarter and more pragmatic in our approach to how we do this,” he said. “All of these things that are happening now, all of these look-backs, are based on administrative failures and technical failures on behalf of the RMV.”Despite multiple requests for comment, the RMV did not respond in time for this story’s deadline.
