This bill directs the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to create a database system for tracking commercial driver's licenses issued to non-domiciled individuals, which are licenses issued to people who do not reside in the state that issued them. Within 90 days of enactment, the bill requires the administration to gain access to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements service to check the immigration status of license holders. State driver license agencies must submit information about all non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses they issue, including expiration dates and copies of the actual licenses, which the administration will then cross-reference against federal immigration databases. If the system flags any license holder as having unlawful presence in the United States, that information must be sent to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for potential removal proceedings. States can request a waiver from these requirements, and the administration must report annually to Congress on how many non-domiciled licenses were flagged and which states issued them.
