Section 250-162-25 - PRISM

1. The State of Maine is a participant in the PRISM program. PRISM links the FMCSA's motor carrier safety information with the State's motor vehicle registration process to achieve two purposes:

A. To determine the carrier's safety fitness prior to issuing a registration plate, and

B. To cause the unsafe carrier to improve its safety performance through an improvement process, and, where necessary, the application of registration sanctions.

2. A carrier's record of poor safety performance may result in the denial or suspension of its privilege to register. The authorization for such action is under the Statutory Authority of 29-A M.R.S.A. §2458.

3. The rules governing the PRISM program are in the Secretary of State's Rule Chapter 169.
