The commissioner may issue a nonresident commercial driver's license to a person domiciled in a foreign jurisdiction if the United States Secretary of Transportation has determined that the commercial motor vehicle testing and licensing standards in the foreign jurisdiction do not meet the testing standards established in 49 CFR, Part 383. In addition, the commissioner may issue a nonresident commercial driver's license to a person domiciled in a state while that state is prohibited from issuing commercial driver's licenses in accordance with 49 CFR, Part 384.405. The word "nonresident" must appear on the face of the nonresident commercial driver's license. An applicant shall surrender any nonresident commercial driver's license issued by another state. Prior to issuing a nonresident commercial driver's license, the commissioner shall establish the practical capability of revoking or suspending the nonresident commercial driver's license.
