Bill > SB1628

This bill prohibits Service Oklahoma, the state agency responsible for issuing driver licenses, from issuing commercial driver licenses or learner permits to individuals who are not domiciled in Oklahoma, meaning they do not reside in the state. While existing non-domiciled commercial licenses and permits issued before the bill's effective date will remain valid until they expire, the bill also clarifies that individuals holding such licenses or permits from other states who operate commercial vehicles in Oklahoma must possess a valid work visa and provide proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or passport. The bill also includes provisions for penalties for commercial motor carriers and drivers found in violation of these new rules, and it declares an emergency, meaning the law will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
