The Commercial Drivers License Amendment Act of 2026 amends the Uniform Classification and Commercial Drivers License Act of 1990 to update references to the U.S. Code concerning the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act and to revise the standards for disqualification from operating a commercial motor vehicle. Key changes include replacing outdated references to the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 with current citations from 49 U.S.C. 31309, 31305, 31309, and 31311. Additionally, the disqualification criteria for commercial drivers have been clarified, specifying conditions under which a driver may be disqualified based on offenses, imminent hazards, falsification of information, or fraud related to the issuance of a commercial driver's license.

Furthermore, the bill amends the District of Columbia Traffic Act, 1925, to ensure consistency with the updated disqualification standards by expanding the definition of falsification to include any material or information required to obtain a commercial driver's license. The act will take effect after approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period.
