Illinois law permits insulin dependent diabetics and drivers with visual acuity problems who were eligible to, licensed to, and engaged in the operation of commercial motor vehicles, with a GVWR or GCW > 12,000 pounds, prior to July 29, 1986, and who would have otherwise been disqualified to drive by Illinois’ adoption of Part 391 of the Federal Regulations, to continue to drive provided such drivers have individual driving records which indicate their ability to drive safely.
Illinois law grants similar relief to insulin dependent diabetics and drivers with visual acuity problems who were eligible to, licensed to, and engaged in the operation of certain commercial motor vehicles between 10,000 pounds and 12,000 pounds GVWR or GCWR prior to January 17, 1992, and who would have otherwise been disqualified by Illinois’ adoption of Public Act 87-829. If a driver is qualified under these provisions, the medical certificate must say, “Qualified only for intrastate transportation in Illinois.”
Exception: The physical qualification requirements in Part 391, Subpart E do not apply to drivers of covered farm vehicles as defined in 92 Ill. Adm. Code 390.1020.
