Secure Commercial Driver Licensing Act of 2025

This bill would require all tests for getting or renewing a commercial driver's license (CDL) to be given only in English. Within 180 days, the Secretary of Transportation would have to issue or update rules so that English-only testing covers entry-level training tests, knowledge tests, and tests given by registered third-party training providers. The bill would bar issuing a CDL to anyone who has not held a regular driver's license for at least 1 year, except for people who already hold a CDL when the bill becomes law. It would also let the Secretary revoke a state's authority to issue CDLs and learner's permits to people who do not live in that state if the state does not meet federal standards.
