Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The bill would restrict who can receive a commercial driver's license to operate trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles.
Only U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain work visa holders would be eligible for commercial driver's licenses.
Individuals in the country without legal status or on other types of visas would not be able to obtain commercial driver's licenses.
The bill would create a federal standard for CDL eligibility based on immigration status.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

This bill would affect non-citizens seeking to work as commercial truck drivers, bus drivers, or in other jobs requiring a CDL. It would also impact the trucking and transportation industries, which may face changes in their available workforce. States that currently issue CDLs to individuals regardless of immigration status would need to change their licensing practices.
