To prohibit the Secretary of Transportation from issuing and enforcing 
   certain requirements relating to commercial motor vehicle drivers.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. LIMITATIONS ON COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE REQUIREMENTS.

    (a) Limitations.--The Secretary of Transportation shall not issue 
or enforce any regulation, guidance, or other requirement that directly 
or indirectly--
            (1) prohibits a commercial motor vehicle driver from 
        participating in a driving school in the disposition of a 
        traffic violation;
            (2) prohibits a State from issuing a provisional driver's 
        license to a commercial motor vehicle driver in the disposition 
        of a traffic violation; or
            (3) requires a traffic violation by a commercial motor 
        vehicle driver in a State (other than the driver's licensing 
        State) to be automatically considered a violation, for 
        commercial driver's license disqualification purposes, in the 
        driver's licensing State.
    (b) Definitions.--In this section, the following definitions apply:
            (1) Licensing state.--The term ``licensing State'' means, 
        with respect to an individual, a State that issues a commercial 
        driver's license to the individual.
            (2) Provisional driver's license.--The term ``provisional 
        driver's license'' means a driver's license that permits an 
        individual to drive only to and from work and in the scope of 
        employment.
