A bill 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 S 3917 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prevent states from issuing commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to anyone who isn't a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or holder of approved work visas. Commercial driver's licenses are required to operate large trucks and buses professionally. If passed, the bill would restrict who can legally work in these transportation jobs. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects non-citizens and immigrants without legal permanent resident status who currently hold or seek commercial driving positions.

It would also impact trucking and transportation companies that employ such drivers. States would need to enforce these restrictions when issuing CDLs. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process. This means it hasn't been debated or voted on by the full Senate yet. The bill was introduced by Senator Jim Banks, a Republican from Indiana.
