SB180

The amendment NARROWS eligibility for South Dakota's nondomiciled commercial driver licenses by removing the provision that allowed individuals domiciled in states with decertified commercial licensing programs to obtain them, leaving only foreign nationals and U.S. territory residents with specific employment-based visa categories (H-2A, H-2B, or E-2) as eligible applicants.

The amendment completely rewrote the bill's eligibility criteria for nondomiciled commercial driver licenses, replacing the original two categories (foreign nationals with substandard testing standards and those from decertified states) with a narrow focus on employment-based visa holders (H-2A, H-2B, E-2) and U.S. territory residents, while also adding detailed verification and documentation requirements that substantially NARROW and REDIRECT the bill's scope.
