Under existing law, a court that has jurisdiction over state traffic offenses or municipal ordinances adopted by a local authority that regulate the operation of motor vehicles on highways, must forward a record of a conviction under those laws to the Department of Public Safety within 10 days.

Under existing law, the Department of Public Safety must notify the driver licensing authority in the licensing state of any conviction, within 10 days after receiving a report of the conviction, of a nonresident holder of a commercial driver license for any violation of state law or local ordinance relating to motor vehicle traffic control committed in a commercial motor vehicle.
