Summary
Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1985 - Establishes the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Fund for the deposit of all penalties and fines imposed upon individuals operating a commercial motor vehicle in interstate commerce without a national commercial motor vehicle operator's license. Makes it illegal to operate such vehicle in interstate commerce without such national license. Requires the Secretary of Transportation to make incentive grants to States which implement a program to conduct inspections of commercial motor vehicles on a random basis to determine whether the operator is intoxicated or driving under the influence of a controlled substance. Sets forth eligibility criteria for such grants. Requires the Secretary to promulgate procedures for the issuance of national commercial motor vehicle operator's licenses to individuals operating commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce. Requires the appropriate State official to report to the Secretary individuals whose commercial motor vehicle operator's license has been denied or revoked. Amends the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 to authorize appropriations for FY 1989 and 1990. Raises the appropriations ceiling for FY 1987 and 1988.
