States that require reporting OSA diagnosis to DMV!
Tried a search and didn't find anything, so I thought I'd post a list of states that I'm aware of that require drivers and/or physicians to report an OSA diagnosis to the Department of Motor Vehicles or its equivalent; Florida, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, Texas, and Virginia.

and most institute some form of periodic check to determine that you are complying with a treatment program. generally that is use of PAP technology for min of 4 hrs daily for xx% of the last xx days.

Is this for CDL holders or all driver’s license classes?

Here in California, the only reports of OSA involving physicians are in licensing programs for pilots, commercial truck drivers, train engineers, and nuclear plant operators that require medical certificates, and the reports go to the state and federal agencies that issue licenses.
I am not aware of physicians voluntarily contacting licensing entities unless the patient is a clear and present danger to themselves or others while at work or on the road.

There's something similar in Canada. They will contact the department of motor vehicles and inform them about your findings and you need to comply within a certain period of time or you lose your license.
