An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in commercial drivers, further providing for purpose and construction of chapter, for definitions and for commercial driver's license qualification standards, providing for English proficiency standard, further providing for nonresident CDL, for application for commercial driver's license and for disqualification and providing for annual report; and imposing penalties.

Summary

SB 1295 changes the state’s commercial driver licensing rules to require applicants to prove English proficiency and lawful immigration status. It lets the Department of Transportation issue a special “nondomiciled” CDL to foreign‑resident drivers, but only for the length of their authorized stay and without a REAL ID. The bill also adds new penalties for drivers, employers and contractors who fail to meet the English standard.
