As Amended
SEC. 63-1-80. Nonresident commercial driver's license.
The Commissioner of Public Safety may issue a nonresident commercial driver's license to a resident of a foreign jurisdiction if the United States Secretary of Transportation has determined that the commercial motor vehicle testing and licensing standards in the foreign jurisdiction do not meet the testing standards established in 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 383, and if the nonresident applicant otherwise meets the requirements for the issuance of the applicable class of commercial driver's license as required by this article. The word "nonresident" must appear on the face of the nonresident commercial driver's license. An applicant must surrender any nonresident commercial driver's license issued by another state. Before issuing a nonresident commercial driver's license, the Commissioner of Public Safety shall establish the practical capability of revoking, suspending or cancelling the nonresident commercial driver's license and disqualifying that person with the same conditions applicable to the commercial driver's license issued to a resident of this state.
