Bill > HB1763

This bill modifies the rules for issuing nondomiciled commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to non-U.S. residents in Missouri. Starting August 28, 2026, the state can issue a nondomiciled CDL to foreign residents who are temporary workers in specific visa categories, including H-2A agricultural workers, H-2B non-agricultural workers, and E-2 treaty investors. Applicants must provide proof of their employment through labor certification and present an unexpired foreign passport and Form I-94 or I-94A. The license will expire either when the person's period of admission ends or after one year, whichever is earlier. The Department of Motor Vehicles must verify the applicant's immigration status using the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program and will be required to revoke the license if the holder loses their lawful nonimmigrant status. The license will clearly be marked as "nondomiciled" and requires in-person renewal. The bill aims to create a structured process for issuing commercial driving privileges to temporary foreign workers while maintaining strict verification and immigration status requirements.
