The bill aims to enhance the understanding of federal standards related to commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) by adding a new section to chapter 46.25 RCW. It mandates the Department of Licensing to initiate the rule-making process to update WAC 308-100-020, specifically addressing how a person's country of domicile and immigration status affect their ability to obtain or renew a CDL. Additionally, the department is required to provide regular training for staff involved in the application process, covering necessary documentation, available options for applicants based on their immigration status, and guidance on application materials.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the department must regularly update this training to ensure compliance with federal requirements and effectively serve CDL applicants and holders. It also requires the department to distribute informational materials to CDL training schools, applicants, and holders, detailing how immigration status and country of domicile can impact licensing, as well as any exceptions to federal standards. This initiative is designed to streamline the licensing process and improve accessibility for individuals affected by these factors.
