The Safer Truckers Act of 2025 restricts commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and individuals specifically authorized by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to work in jobs involving commercial vehicle driving. The bill amends federal transportation law to add this citizenship and immigration status requirement to existing CDL qualifications. It affects anyone seeking to obtain or renew a commercial driver's license in the United States, as well as state licensing agencies that issue these licenses. States must comply within 180 days of the law's enactment and must submit annual reports by December 31st demonstrating their enforcement of English-language proficiency requirements for commercial drivers. The legislation does not specify dedicated federal funding but ties state compliance to their ability to issue CDLs under federal standards.
