A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO REPEAL THE SUNSET PROVISION OF THE ACT ESTABLISHING THE OFFENSE OF IMPAIRED DRIVING IN COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Section 17 of Chapter 1112 of the 1987 Session Laws reads as rewritten:
"Sec. 17.  This act shall become effective June 1, 1989.  Provided, any person with a Class C license issued before the effective date of this act may continue to operate any vehicle for which he was authorized prior to the effective date of this act and until his license expires.  Provided, further, any driver covered by the preceding sentence shall be subject to the provisions of this act and upon conviction of a violation of G.S. 20-138.2 while possessing a Class C license shall, if otherwise entitled, have a new Class C license issued which shall not authorize the operation of a commercial motor vehicle.  Nothing in this section shall be construed to exempt a vehicle from the definition of commercial motor vehicle merely because the driver was authorized to operate it while possessing a Class C license issued prior to June 1, 1989."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
