To meet new insurance carrier requirements, the University of Illinois System must enhance our Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) checks. An MVR is a report that provides a summary of an individual’s driving history, such as violations, accidents, and license status.
As part of this new policy, 15.5 Motor Vehicle Records, the university will begin conducting MVR checks for employees who meet the definition of a regular driver, defined as an employee who meets one or more of the following criteria using personal, university, and/or rental vehicles while driving on system or university business:
- All employees who drive as a regular function of their job duties as determined by their unit including, but not limited to, the following positions in the following State Universities Civil Service System (SUCSS) series:
- Automotive Garage Technician
- Disability Transportation Specialist
- Driver
- Mail Messenger
- Facilities and unit craft and trade civil service (CS) staff
- Facilities project managers, engineers, inspectors, and commissioning staff whose duties include regular on-site visits to build, demo, and renovation sites
- Public Safety and Parking staff, either assigned a designated vehicle, or routinely (i.e., weekly) engaged in vehicle patrol duties
- Any employee permanently assigned a unit-owned or leased vehicle
- Any employee who drives on system or university business at least 10 days in any 30-day period
- Any employee who drives as an essential function of their job
- Any employee involved in an accident while driving any vehicle on university business
We are working with units across the campuses to identify employees who have positions that meet this definition. If you are considered a regular driver, you will receive direct notification with next steps.
