In addition, each driver control record shall contain an entry for each offense that is reported to the commissioner by the licensing authority of a member jurisdiction, if such report and the offense that it identifies pertain to an action or conduct by the driver that is within the scope of the DLA Code. As adopted herein, the DLA Code is composed of all offenses pertaining to the safe operation of a motor vehicle, including offenses of the following nature:(1) operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including operation with a blood alcohol concentration of eight one hundredths of one percent (.08) or higher, or in the case of operation of a commercial motor vehicle, with a blood alcohol concentration of four one-hundredths of one percent (.04) or higher;(2) manslaughter involving a motor vehicle, vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, or similar offense;(3) a felony in the commission of which a motor vehicle is used;(4) leaving the scene of an accident or failing to stop and render aid in the event of a motor vehicle accident or collision resulting in the death or personal injury of another, or similar offense;(5) driving while unlicensed or while the license is withdrawn;(6) driving at a speed over a prescribed or posted speed limit;(7) failure to obey a red light, stop sign or flashing yellow light;(8) improper passing or following too closely;(9) improper or unsafe turning movements;(10) failure to yield when required;(11) unsafe or hazardous stopping;(12) failure to stop for a school bus or student transportation vehicle with its flashing lights in operation;(13) reckless driving, or similar offense;(14) driving without required insurance; and(15) failure to use seat belts or child safety devices or restraints.(b) In accordance with the DLA Code, the driver control record shall contain an entry for an administrative action based on the failure of a driver to meet standards concerning the functional ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. Any driver whose driver control record contains such an entry as a result of an administrative action taken in another jurisdiction shall be entitled, upon written request, to a review by the commissioner of such driver's current condition and ability to engage in safe operation. Such review shall be made in accordance with sections 14-46a to 14-46g, inclusive, of the Connecticut General Statutes, and sections 14-44-1 to 14-45a-17, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. If the commissioner determines that the driver meets the standards contained in the cited sections and is capable of safely operating a motor vehicle, the commissioner shall remove the entry resulting from the previous action.(c) In accordance with the DLA Code, the driver control record shall contain an entry if the driver has committed an offense pertaining to, or arising out of: (1) the display or unlawful possession of any surrendered, cancelled, revoked, suspended, fictitious, fraudulently altered or fraudulently obtained license or identification card;(2) the provision of a false or fictitious name or date of birth to any law enforcement officer; and(3) the provision of a false or fictitious name or date of birth, or the making of any false statement or misrepresentation, including the concealment of a material fact, in any official application for a license or identification card.(d) In accordance with the DLA Code, the driver control record shall also contain an entry for an offense, committed by a driver, not otherwise described in this section, that is required to be reported by each state under any provision of federal law.Conn.
