I support Senate Bill 1222 and its goal of ensuring that commercial drivers operating in Oklahoma are properly licensed and accountable by no longer allowing non-domiciled commercial driver licenses, meaning licenses held by drivers who are not residents of this state. During COVID, when licensing offices in some states were shut down, drivers were temporarily allowed to obtain or renew CDLs in other states. That situation no longer exists. CDL licenses are only valid for two years, and six years have now passed since those shutdowns. There is no longer a legitimate need for non-domiciled CDLs, and anyone operating a commercial vehicle on Oklahoma roads should be required to hold a regular, properly issued CDL. Eliminating non-domiciled CDLs closes a loophole that has been exploited to bypass residency and documentation requirements, strengthening safety, accountability, and enforcement on our roadways.
Stops illegals with commercial drivers licenses from other states from driving in Oklahoma.
