A Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration review of Illinois’ non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDL) found that almost one in every five was issued illegally, according to a Feb. 17 statement by the Department of Transportation.
Non-domiciled refers to foreign nationals living in the United States who have a legal home in other countries. “Illinois has 30 days to come into compliance and revoke the illegally issued licenses—or risk losing $128 million in federal highway funding,” the department said. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is part of the Transportation Department (DOT).
