            MILITARY COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE ACT OF 2012

  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that 
the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure be discharged from 
further consideration of the bill (S. 3624) to amend section 31311 of 
title 49, United States Code, to permit States to issue commercial 
driver's licenses to members of the Armed Forces whose duty station is 
located in the State, and ask for its immediate consideration in the 
House.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
  The text of the bill is as follows:

                                S. 3624

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

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Military Commercial Driver's 
     License Act of 2012''.

     SEC. 2. DOMICILE REQUIREMENT FOR COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE.

       Section 31311(a)(12) of title 49, United States Code, is 
     amended to read as follows:
       ``(12)(A) Except as provided in subparagraphs (B) and (C), 
     the State may issue a commercial driver's license only to an 
     individual who operates or will operate a commercial motor 
     vehicle and is domiciled in the State.
       ``(B) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, the 
     State may issue a commercial driver's license to an 
     individual who--
       ``(i) operates or will operate a commercial motor vehicle; 
     and
       ``(ii) is not domiciled in a State that issues commercial 
     driver's licenses.
       ``(C) The State may issue a commercial driver's license to 
     an individual who--
       ``(i) operates or will operate a commercial motor vehicle;
       ``(ii) is a member of the active duty military, military 
     reserves, National Guard, active duty United States Coast 
     Guard, or Coast Guard Auxiliary; and
       ``(iii) is not domiciled in the State, but whose temporary 
     or permanent duty station is located in the State.''.
