CDL Act

This bill would add a new requirement to the REAL ID Act so that State-issued driver's licenses and ID cards must show whether the holder is or is not a U.S. citizen in order to be accepted by Federal agencies. This requirement would apply only to licenses and cards issued 60 days or more after the bill becomes law. The bill would also bar Federal agencies from accepting a State commercial driver's license for official purposes unless the State first verified the person's identity documents. The State would also have to verify that the person is a U.S. national, a lawful permanent resident, or a holder of certain valid work-related nonimmigrant visas.
