This section amends existing law to restrict the operation of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) to citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States, or certain nonimmigrant visa holders. It defines key terms including 'commercial driver's license,' 'covered examination,' 'covered funding,' and 'covered license or authorization.' States are required to recertify existing commercial driver's license holders to verify their citizenship, lawful permanent resident status, or nonimmigrant visa status. The Secretary is authorized to withhold covered funding from states that fail to complete recertifications, revoke licenses of those who fail to recertify or meet requirements, or issue licenses to ineligible individuals. Individuals found to be operating a CMV without proper citizenship, residency, or visa status may face lifetime disqualification.
