Non-Domiciled CDL Integrity Act

This bill changes federal rules for when a state may issue a commercial driver's license (CDL) to a person who lives outside the state. A state could generally issue a CDL only to a person who lives in that state or in a state that does not issue CDLs. A state could issue a CDL to a person from a foreign country only if the person has lawful immigration status and holds an employment-based visa approved by the Secretary of Transportation for this purpose. These licenses would last up to 1 year or until the person's authorized stay ends, whichever is shorter. Applicants from U.S. territories would need to prove U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status, and states would have to keep records for at least 2 years and give them to the Secretary within 48 hours of a request.
