If you hold a valid Pennsylvania Driver's License and you are convicted of an out-of-state offense...Non-Commercial Driver’s License holder: 1st offense out-of-state within 10 years and non-CDL=no sanctions 2nd or subsequent offense out-of-state within 10 years and non-CDL=12 m loss of license if reported to PennDOT A Pre-trial diversionary program would count as a conviction per 75 PS 3804-3806 for purposes of the look back for incremental recidivist sentencing. 2
If you hold a valid Pennsylvania CDL License and you are convicted of an out-of-state offense...1st offense within 10 years and CDL holder=1 year disqualification of CDL and you will have to surrender CDL, but you would be immediately eligible for a non-commercial driver’s license (e.g., person holds valid PA CDL and receives a 2008 out-of-state conviction, no priors)/// 2nd or subsequent offense outside of 10 years with the priors in personal vehicle prior to September 2005 and CDL holder= PA follows 49 CFR 383.51(b), so, 1 year disqualification of CDL and you will have to surrender CDL, but you would be immediately eligible for a non-commercial driver’s license from day one. (e.g., person holds valid PA CDL and had a 1992 conviction for events in a personal vehicle and receives a 2008 out-of-state conviction)/// 2nd or subsequent offense with the priors in personal vehicle prior to September 2005, but still within 10 years and CDL holder=1 y Additional ResourcesRelated Questions2 Attorney answers:
