Utah's commercial driver license (CDL) program currently requires applicants to be legally domiciled in the state. This bill would allow individuals who are lawfully present in the United States and authorized to work under federal law, but who are not domiciled in Utah, to obtain a restricted CDL marked with a "K" designation, limiting them to driving commercial vehicles only within Utah rather than across state lines. Applicants must sign a statement acknowledging the interstate restriction, meet all standard knowledge, skills, and medical qualifications, and — if domiciled in a foreign country — meet additional federal requirements for foreign-domiciled applicants. The license would automatically expire when the holder's federal work authorization expires, and the Driver License Division would be authorized to create rules for verifying applicants' work authorization under this new process.
