Commercial Driver's Licenses - Out-of-State Residents - School Buses or Passenger Vehicles

SB 884 allows Maryland's Motor Vehicle Administration to issue a Class B commercial driver's license with school bus or passenger vehicle endorsements to nonresidents who hold equivalent licenses from neighboring states. It specifically targets drivers operating school buses or vehicles carrying 16+ passengers (including the driver) who live outside Maryland but hold valid licenses from nearby states. The bill amends existing law to permit this exception while maintaining other residency and age requirements for commercial licenses. This change directly affects commercial drivers from bordering states seeking to operate such vehicles in Maryland. The policy takes effect October 1, 2025.
