AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change federal rules for commercial driver's licenses (CDLs). Applicants would have to show proof of citizenship, permanent residency, or work authorization, and proof that they live in the state issuing the license. States would have to check non-citizen applicants through the federal SAVE system, and CDLs or learner's permits for non-citizens would expire at the end of their authorized stay or after 1 year, whichever comes first. The bill would also end agreements that let holders of foreign commercial licenses drive commercial vehicles in the U.S., unless a law expressly allows it, and would let certain local agencies working with federal immigration authorities identify foreign nationals unlawfully driving commercial vehicles.
