Immigration (Work Authorization)

SB 171 allows non-domiciled individuals lawfully present in the U.S. and authorized to work to obtain a Utah commercial driver license with a "K" restriction. This license permits driving commercial vehicles only within Utah, not across state lines, and requires a signed statement acknowledging these limitations. The license expires when the individual's federal work authorization ends, and it does not qualify for interstate driving under federal rules. The bill updates Utah law to create this specific restriction while requiring applicants to meet all standard commercial driving standards.
