This bill mandates the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to verify the lawful immigration status of applicants and holders of commercial learners permits and commercial driver licenses (CDLs) using the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program. The verification process aims to ensure that individuals who are illegally in the state do not obtain or retain these permits and licenses. If an applicant is found ineligible or illegally present in the U.S., the chief administrator is required to deny the application or downgrade the holder's permit or license within 30 days and report relevant information to the United States Department of Homeland Security for potential investigation and deportation actions.

Additionally, the bill requires the chief administrator to conduct checks for outstanding arrest warrants for all current commercial learners permit and CDL holders. If any active warrants are identified, the chief administrator must report this information to the Division of State Police. Furthermore, commercial learners permit and CDL holders must submit to fingerprinting and consent to a criminal history background check, with the costs of these processes borne by the holders themselves. The bill aims to enhance the integrity of the commercial driving licensing system by ensuring compliance with federal immigration laws and public safety.
