Requires all commercial driver’s license (CDL) testing to be conducted only in English, requires CDL applicants to have held a regular driver’s license for at least one year before receiving a CDL (with an exemption for current CDL holders), and gives the Secretary of Transportation authority to revoke a State or jurisdiction’s permission to issue non-domiciled CDLs/CLPs if they fail to follow Federal standards. The Secretary must issue or revise implementing regulations within 180 days of enactment.

The law changes who can take CDL tests (English-only), tightens when a CDL may be issued (one-year prior driver’s license), and creates a federal enforcement lever against jurisdictions that issue non-domiciled CDLs or CLPs in violation of Federal rules.
