The Transportation Department<\/a> is making major changes to eligibility requirements for non-domiciled commercial learner\u2019s permits (CLPs) and commercial driver\u2019s licenses (CDLs). This comes amid an ongoing audit carried out by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).<\/p>\n

Under the new rules, non-citizens will not be able to get a non-domiciled CDL unless they meet a stricter set of requirements, which include an employment-based visa. The department is also instituting “a mandatory federal immigration status check using the SAVE system.”<\/p>\n

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the move on Friday and said that what his department uncovered in its investigation of licensing practices “should disturb and anger every American.”<\/p>\n

“Licenses to operate a massive, 80,000-pound truck are being issued to dangerous foreign drivers \u2014 often times illegally. This is a direct threat to the safety of every family on the road, and I won\u2019t stand for it,” Duffy said in a statement<\/a>. “Today\u2019s actions will prevent unsafe foreign drivers from renewing their license and hold states accountable to immediately invalidate improperly issued licenses.”<\/p>\n

The Transportation Department said on Friday that in its audit, the FMCSA discovered non-compliance in several states, noting that the “most egregious” case was that of California. CDLs were allegedly issued to drivers who were ineligible, as well as drivers whose licenses were valid after their lawful presence in the U.S. expired. The department said this was due to weak oversight, insufficient training and programming errors.<\/p>\n

“California\u2019s reckless disregard is frankly disgusting and an affront to the millions of Americans who expect us to keep them safe,” Duffy added. “California must get its act together immediately, or I will not hesitate to pull millions in funding.”<\/p>\n

California was under fire for this issue last month when an illegal immigrant trucker<\/a>, who obtained a limited-term CDL from the Golden State in 2024, allegedly killed three people when attempting to make an unauthorized U-turn in Florida. Harjinder Singh, the trucker, was later charged with three counts of vehicular homicide.<\/p>\n

The Transportation Department has given California 30 days to come into compliance. If the state fails to do so, it could lose federal funding, which the department said could be nearly $160 million in the first year.<\/p>\n

While California was singled out<\/a> in the department\u2019s statement, Duffy urged all governors to fix their non-domiciled CDL issuing systems immediately.<\/p>\n

“You do not want the blood of more traffic deaths on your hands, governors,” Duffy said at a news conference on Friday.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to California Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s office for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
