(1) A person who is domiciled in a foreign jurisdiction whose commercial motor vehicle testing and licensing standards, as determined by the administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, do not meet the testing standards established in 49 C.F.R. Part 383 as amended through January 1, 2015;

(2) A person who is domiciled in a state whose commercial driver licensing program has been decertified by the administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

The word, nondomiciled, shall appear on the face of the nondomiciled commercial learner's permit or commercial driver license. An applicant shall surrender any nondomiciled commercial learner's permit or commercial driver license issued by another state. The holder of a nondomiciled commercial learner's permit or commercial driver license is subject to the same disqualifications and conditions applicable to a commercial learner's permit or commercial driver license issued to a person domiciled in this state.

A nondomiciled commercial learner's permit or commercial driver license issued pursuant to subdivision (1) of this section may be renewed only upon presentation of valid documentary evidence that the applicant is authorized to stay in the United States. The department may renew a nondomiciled commercial driver license without a skills or knowledge test if the license has been expired for a period less than one year.
