Non-Domiciled CDL Reporting Act
Sponsored By: Representative Taylor, David J. [R-OH-2]
Introduced
Summary
A SAVE-integrated commercial driver’s license database would connect FMCSA to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system so federal agencies can identify non-domiciled CDL holders who may be unlawfully present.
Show full summary
- State driver license agencies would have to send FMCSA a copy of each non-domiciled CDL and its expiration date. States could request waivers under existing waiver and pilot authorities.
- If SAVE indicates unlawful presence, FMCSA would forward the holder’s information to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which would investigate eligibility for removal.
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services would need to make SAVE available to FMCSA within 90 days, and FMCSA would report to Congress starting one year after enactment and then annually on how many non-domiciled CDLs were flagged and where they were issued.

New checks on non-domiciled CDL holders
If enacted, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services would have to let the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration use the SAVE system within 90 days. States would send FMCSA each non-domiciled CDL's expiration date and a copy of the license upon enactment. FMCSA would run those records through SAVE and, if SAVE shows unlawful presence, send the person's information to USCIS for investigation and possible removal. FMCSA would also report to Congress within one year and every year after how many non-domiciled CDLs were flagged and the State that issued them.
States can request waivers; funds withheld
If enacted, States would be able to apply for waivers, exemptions, or pilot programs under the existing waiver law for the new CDL data submission requirements. The bill would add States as eligible applicants and let them seek relief from the new reporting duties. It would also make failure to follow the new database rules a basis for FMCSA to withhold certain funds from noncompliant States.
