An employer may designate a consortium/third-party administrator (C/TPA) in the Clearinghouse to assist with meeting their query and violation reporting requirements. C/TPAs must accept an employer’s designation in the Clearinghouse before they can access the Clearinghouse on that employer’s behalf.

Employer Requirements for the Clearinghouse:

• Employers are required to query the Clearinghouse each year for every driver they employ.
• Employers must query for current and prospective drug and alcohol violations before allowing those employees to operate on public roads.
• Employers must report refusals to test to the Clearinghouse
• Employers must report breath alcohol testing results to the Clearinghouse

Other Queries

• State driver licensing agencies must query whenever a CDL is issued, renewed, upgraded, or even transferred.
• Drivers can query the clearinghouse to check their records
