AI Summary
This bill, known as the VERIFY CDL Act, amends existing law to require that states verify an individual's authorization to work in the United States using the E-Verify Program before issuing or renewing a commercial driver's license (CDL). E-Verify is a government program that checks employment eligibility by comparing information from an employee's Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, with records from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration. This provision aims to ensure that only individuals legally authorized to work in the U.S. can obtain a CDL, which is necessary for operating large vehicles in interstate commerce.
