Effective April 1, 2026, California employers participating in the state's Employer Pull Notice (EPN) program (which requires ongoing DMV record monitoring for CDL drivers) must enroll and manage their accounts electronically. Prior rules allowed some flexibility, including paper-based processes; that optionality is now eliminated.

Checkr Takeaway: As a registered EPN agent, Checkr is monitoring this change closely. CDL employer customers should confirm their EPN enrollment and monitoring workflows are fully electronic and compliant with the updated regulation.
