DC-811 Driver's License Requirement and Mandatory Safety Restraint Use (Revised 11/2/11)

Department of Corrections

DRIVER’S LICENSE REQUIREMENT AND MANDATORY SAFETY RESTRAINT USE

I understand that when acting as a passenger or operator of a state-owned, leased, or privately-owned vehicle in the official conduct of state business, failure to use seat belts or occupant restraint systems shall be considered improper use of such vehicle. Failure to use safety equipment may result in disciplinary action as outlined in Department of Corrections Rule 33-208 and/or possible reduction in worker's compensation benefits in accordance with Florida Statutes 440.09(5).

I understand a valid driver’s license is required in order to operate a department- owned vehicle, or to operate my personal vehicle for department business. I further understand that operation of a department-owned vehicle or operation of my personal vehicle for department business without possession of a valid driver’s license may result in disciplinary action as outlined in Department of Corrections Rule 33-208 and/or civil or criminal penalties in accordance with Chapter 322, Florida Statutes.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A DEPARTMENT POLICY, AND I DO AGREE TO COMPLY.
