The bill aims to enhance the understanding of federal standards related to commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) by establishing a new section in chapter 46.25 RCW. It mandates the Department of Licensing to initiate a rule-making process to update existing regulations, specifically WAC 308-100-020, to clarify 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, focusing on necessary documentation, available options for applicants based on their immigration status, and guidance for navigating the application process.

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 educational materials to CDL training schools, applicants, and holders, detailing how immigration status and country of domicile can impact licensing eligibility, as well as any exceptions to federal standards. This initiative is designed to promote clarity and accessibility in the CDL application and renewal process for individuals affected by these factors.
