This bill amends federal law to set new requirements for states that issue commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to individuals who are not domiciled in the state. It replaces existing rules with stricter conditions for non-domiciled applicants, including those from foreign countries and U.S. territories.
Sec. 2, Issuance of non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses: The bill revises the rules for states issuing CDLs to non-domiciled individuals. For applicants from foreign countries (except specified territories), the state may issue a license only if the individual has lawful U.S. immigration status, holds a visa tied to a legitimate employment reason for needing a CDL, and the state confirms their immigration status before issuing or renewing the license. The license is valid for up to one year or until the applicant's authorized stay ends, whichever is shorter. The state must keep records for at least two years and provide them to the U.S. Secretary of Transportation within 48 hours of a request. For applicants from Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, or the Northern Mariana Islands, the state must confirm U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent resident status before issuing or renewing the license, and must also keep records for at least two years and provide them to the Secretary within 48 hours.
