The requirement to provide proof of lawful presence now explicitly applies only to persons issued a nondomiciled commercial driver license.

Added a structured process where officers must issue citations and impose civil penalties instead of immediately impounding the vehicle.

Removed the previous provision that automatically required the impoundment of the vehicle and its cargo upon failure to prove lawful presence.

Introduced new requirements for law enforcement to notify the licensing jurisdiction, the federal motor carrier safety administration, and the motor carrier when a driver is placed out-of-service.

Established detailed rules for protecting third-party cargo, including expedited retrieval for perishable goods and a prohibition on impounding cargo owned by parties other than the driver or carrier.
