Summary
The bill changes federal law so that states can only give a CDL to someone who lives in the state, unless the applicant is a foreign resident who meets strict immigration and employment criteria. It also adds special verification and record‑keeping steps for applicants from U.S. territories. The goal is to tighten oversight of who can drive commercial vehicles across state lines.
