Requires MVC to verify certain information concerning commercial learner's permit and commercial driver license applicants and holders to ensure persons illegally in the State do not obtain or hold such permits and licenses.

This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to verify the immigration status and criminal history of applicants and holders of commercial learner's permits and commercial driver licenses. Under the new rules, the commission must check if individuals are legally in the United States using a federal system and deny permits to those who are not eligible or are undocumented. Additionally, current license holders must undergo fingerprinting and background checks, with their information shared with state police and federal authorities if they have outstanding arrest warrants or are found to be in the country illegally. The bill also mandates that the commission downgrade the licenses of any current holders who fail these eligibility checks.
