            Current law prohibits the issuance of a commercial driver's license other than a nonresident license to a person unless the person, among other requirements, has a domicile in Texas. Senate Bill 229 amends the Transportation Code to extend the exception to that prohibition to a person who has a domicile in another state and who is a member of the United States armed forces, including a member of the National Guard or a reserve or auxiliary unit of any branch of the armed forces, whose temporary or permanent duty station is located in Texas.
