Impact Analysis

Personal Impact

Undocumented immigrants who currently hold or could obtain commercial driver's licenses would be completely barred from doing so. Anyone caught operating a commercial vehicle without legal status would face a lifetime ban from commercial driving in the U.S. This would eliminate a livelihood pathway for undocumented workers in the trucking and commercial driving industries.

The Secretary shall disqualify from operating a commercial motor vehicle for life an individual who operates a commercial motor vehicle in the United States while that individual is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States
