Secure Commercial Driver Licensing Act of 2025

This bill requires all commercial driver's license (CDL) tests - including knowledge tests, entry-level training exams, and third-party provider assessments - to be administered exclusively in English. It also mandates that new CDL applicants must hold a regular driver's license for at least one year prior to receiving a CDL, affecting most first-time commercial drivers. The Secretary of Transportation can revoke a state's authority to issue non-domiciled CDLs or commercial learner's permits (CLPs) if the state fails to comply with these requirements. These provisions directly impact new CDL applicants, particularly non-English speakers and those without prior driving experience.
