New rules would change how states issue commercial truck licenses to foreign drivers and U.S. territory residents.
This bill would set new, specific requirements for states to issue commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to people who don't live in that state. It would create different rules for foreign drivers and those from U.S. territories like Puerto Rico. States would need to check immigration status, visa type, or citizenship before issuing these licenses.
Currently, the specific rules for states to issue commercial driver's licenses to people not living in that state, especially regarding immigration status and record-keeping, are not clearly detailed in federal law. If this bill passes, states would have strict new requirements to follow, including verifying immigration status or citizenship and limiting license durations for foreign drivers.
