Non-Domiciled CDL Reporting Act

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.
