Stat. \u00a7 171.165) disqualifies a person from operating commercial motor vehicles for a first-time conviction of driving under the influence or refusing a breath test. State (and federal) regulations mandate a one-year disqualification for a commercial driver\u2019s license (CDL) for anyone facing a DWI\/DUI conviction.<\/p>\n<p>For a second DWI\/DUI conviction, the state may disqualify the commercial driver for life. Any driver who successfully completes an appropriate rehabilitation program may have his or her CDL reinstated after 10 years.<\/p>\n<h3>If the State is revoking my CDL for a DWI, what are my rights in court?<\/h3>\n<p>Anyone facing a CDL revocation or lifetime disqualification has the right to an administrative review of the commissioner\u2019s decision and an opportunity to present additional information with the hopes of convincing the commissioner to reconsider the decision to revoke a CDL.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, any person whose CDL has been disqualified may petition the district court for reinstatement. In a reinstatement proceeding, the district court conducts a trial to determine whether a driver is entitled to reinstatement. If we can show the disqualification was arbitrary, unreasonable, or not within the commissioner\u2019s jurisdiction and powers, a district court judge has the discretion to reverse the CDL disqualification and reinstate CDL driving privileges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone facing a CDL revocation or lifetime disqualification has the right to an administrative review of the commissioner\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":564,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Will I lose my CDL if I get a DUI in minnesota?
