AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Utah law currently requires commercial truck drivers to be domiciled — meaning legally residing — in Utah to obtain a state commercial driver license (CDL). This bill allows individuals who are lawfully present in the United States and authorized to work under federal law, but who don't live in Utah, to obtain a restricted CDL marked with a "K" designation, which limits them to operating commercial vehicles only within Utah's borders. The license expires when the holder's federal work authorization expires, and driving a commercial vehicle across state lines while holding this license is prohibited.
