This bill aims to establish new residency requirements for commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) by amending title 49 of the United States Code. It mandates that individuals seeking a CDL must be either a United States citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or specifically authorized by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to engage in employment that includes operating a commercial motor vehicle. Furthermore, the legislation requires states to adhere to these new issuance criteria for CDLs. States will also be obligated to submit annual reports to the Secretary of Transportation, detailing their policies and actions to uphold and enforce existing English-language proficiency requirements for commercial motor vehicle drivers, with the first report due 180 days after the bill's enactment.
