HR 5863

This bill, the No CDLs for Illegals Act, aims to restrict the issuance of commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to individuals who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. It requires states to verify an applicant’s legal presence through documentation and to utilize the SAVE system to check for lawful immigration status. Furthermore, the bill proposes suspending federal funding to states that issue CDLs to unauthorized individuals and establishes a process for states to reinstate funding upon demonstrating compliance with these requirements. It also introduces potential fines for trucking companies employing drivers without valid CDLs.
