Non-Domiciled CDL Reporting Act
Immigration Checks for Commercial Truck Drivers
This bill was recently introduced and is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. It is in the early stages of the legislative process and is considered active. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
This bill faces a difficult path because it involves the sensitive topic of immigration enforcement and threatens to cut state funding.
Key Points
- This bill creates a new federal database to track people with non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses. These are special licenses for people who are not permanent U.S. residents but are allowed to drive large trucks or buses for work.
- State driving agencies would have to send copies of these licenses and their expiration dates to federal safety officials. If a state does not share this information, the federal government could take away some of that state's highway funding.
- Federal officials would check these drivers against immigration records. If the system shows a driver is in the country illegally, their information would be sent to immigration agents to start an investigation for possible removal from the country.
- The bill requires federal officials to send a report to Congress every year. This report would show how many drivers were flagged for immigration issues and which states issued those licenses.
