Jenifer Sanchez Vilchis - Petition for Rulemaking (DACA Class B CDL Eligibility)

Summary: Jenifer Sanchez Vilchis, a DACA recipient and school-bus driver trainee, is petitioning the FMCSA to amend or reinterpret a recent directive that restricts Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) to certain visa holders. She argues that DACA recipients with valid work authorization should be allowed to obtain Class B CDLs, as they have met all safety and training requirements and the current restriction is arbitrary and discriminatory.
