Land Line Magazine for truckers reports that some organizations that train certified medical examiners are telling examiners to test truckers for sleep apnea, even though such screening is not legally mandated.
U.S. Reps. Larry Bucshon, R-Ind., and Dan Lipinski, D-Ill., refer to HR3095, a bill passed by Congress and signed by the president in October 2013 that prohibits the FMCSA from “implementing or enforcing a requirement providing for the screening, testing or treatment of individuals operating commercial motor vehicles for sleep disorders only if the requirement is adopted pursuant to the rulemaking proceeding.”
