SAFETEA-LU (2005). Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act A Legacy for Users. Public Law 109-59. Washington, DC Department of Transportation. 

According to Mercer/ORC, a Washington, D.C.-based EHS consultancy, the rule requires that a CLP holder meet virtually the same requirements as those for a CDL holder, meaning that a driver holding a CLP will be subject to the same driver disqualification penalties that apply to a CDL holder. This final rule also implements section 4019 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), section 4122 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), and section 703 of the Security and Accountability For Every Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act).
