Overview
This bill changes how states issue commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to people who don’t live in the state but work for companies that operate across state lines. Currently, states can only issue CDLs to drivers who are domiciled within their state. This bill allows states to issue CDLs to drivers who are domiciled in foreign countries, but only if they have specific legal status in the U.S., such as a valid visa or lawful immigration status. It also outlines specific requirements for states issuing licenses to individuals from Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Key provisions
- States can issue CDLs to individuals domiciled in foreign jurisdictions under specific conditions.
- Applicants from foreign jurisdictions must demonstrate lawful immigration status.
- Licenses issued to foreign-domiciled drivers will have a maximum validity of one year or the duration of their authorized stay.
- States must maintain records of licenses issued to foreign-domiciled drivers for at least two years.
- States must provide records to the Secretary upon request within 48 hours.
- Specific requirements apply for applicants from Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, including proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residency.
Who is affected
- Commercial drivers
