§ 4109. Nondomiciled commercial driver’s license; nondomiciled commercial learner’s permit
(a) The Commissioner may issue a nondomiciled commercial driver’s license or a nondomiciled
commercial learner’s permit to an individual domiciled in a foreign jurisdiction if
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrator has determined that the commercial
motor vehicle testing and licensing standards in the foreign jurisdiction do not meet
the testing standards established in 49 C.F.R. Part 383. In addition, the Commissioner may issue a nondomiciled commercial driver’s license
or a nondomiciled commercial learner’s permit to an individual domiciled in a state
while that state is prohibited from issuing commercial driver’s licenses in accordance
with 49 C.F.R. § 384.405. The word “nondomiciled” must appear on the face of the nondomiciled commercial driver’s
license or nondomiciled commercial learner’s permit. An applicant shall surrender
any nondomiciled commercial driver’s license or nondomiciled commercial learner’s
permit issued by another state. Prior to issuing a nondomiciled commercial driver’s
license or nondomiciled commercial learner’s permit, the Commissioner shall establish
the practical capability of revoking or suspending the nondomiciled commercial driver’s
license or nondomiciled commercial learner’s permit.
(b) An applicant domiciled in a foreign jurisdiction must provide an unexpired employment
authorization document (EAD) issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
or an unexpired foreign passport accompanied by an approved I-94 form documenting
the applicant’s most recent admittance into the United States. No proof of domicile
is required.
(c) An applicant for a nondomiciled commercial driver’s license or commercial learner’s
permit is not required to surrender his or her foreign license. (Added 1989, No. 239 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 2005, No. 166 (Adj. Sess.), § 2; 2013, No. 20, § 1; 2019, No. 131 (Adj. Sess.), § 254.)
