Commercial drivers would need E-Verify clearance to get or renew their licenses.
Commercial drivers would need to pass an E-Verify check to get or renew their licenses. This bill would make it a federal rule. States would need to use E-Verify to check if drivers are allowed to work before giving them a CDL or renewing it.
Currently, federal law does not require states to check a commercial driver's employment authorization through the E-Verify Program. If this bill becomes law, states would only be able to issue or renew a commercial driver's license if the applicant's employment authorization has been verified through E-Verify at the time of application.
