VERIFY CDL Act

This legislation, known as the VERIFY CDL Act , introduces a new federal requirement for states concerning commercial driver's licenses. It mandates that states must verify an applicant's authorization to be employed in the United States through the E-Verify Program before issuing or renewing any commercial driver's license. The bill specifically amends section 31305(b)(2) of title 49, United States Code, to incorporate this employment verification as a mandatory condition at the time of application. This measure aims to ensure that all individuals seeking or holding a commercial driver's license are legally authorized to work in the country, thereby strengthening employment verification processes within the commercial transportation sector.
