To prohibit the issuance of commercial driver's licenses to individuals who are not citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States or holders of certain work visas, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 7758 **What the Bill Would Do** If passed, HR 7758 would prevent states from issuing commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to people unless they are U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or holders of specific work visas. Commercial driver's licenses are required to legally operate large trucks and buses professionally. Currently, states set their own rules on who can obtain these licenses, and requirements vary by state. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect non-citizens and undocumented immigrants who currently work or seek to work in commercial driving occupations.

It would also impact the trucking and transportation industries that employ commercial drivers. Some states might need to change their existing CDL policies to comply with the law. **Current Status** As of now, HR 7758 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Andy Barr, a Republican from Kentucky.
