HR 5863 United States House · 119th Congress

No CDLs for Illegals Act

HR 5863, the "No CDLs for Illegals Act," requires states to deny commercial driver's license (CDL) applications to individuals without proof of U.S. citizenship, lawful permanent residency, or valid work authorization, plus proof of state domicile. It mandates states to use the federal SAVE system to verify immigration status for non-citizen applicants and prohibits issuing CDLs to non-domiciles. States violating these rules risk losing federal transportation funds, with the Secretary of Transportation required to annually review compliance and suspend funds until corrections are made. The bill directly affects CDL applicants and state licensing agencies, creating concrete policy changes for CDL issuance and enforcement.
