"As we've done this nationwide audit, we found the worst offender, which is the state of New York: 53% of New York's non-domiciled CDLs were issued unlawfully or illegally."
"What New York does is if an applicant comes in and they have a work authorization for 30 days, 60 days, one year, New York automatically issues them an eight-year commercial driver's license. That's contrary to the law. That's one offense. We also found that New York many times won't even verify whether they have a work authorization, a Visa, or they are in the country legally. They are just giving eight-year commercial driver's licenses to those coming through their DMV and sending them out on American roadways, and they are endangering the lives of American families, he added."
"Secretary Duffy is lying about New York State once again in a desperate attempt to distract from the failing, chaotic administration he represents. Here is the truth: Commercial Drivers Licenses are regulated by the Federal Government, and New York State DMV has, and will continue to, comply with federal rules, the spokesperson said, adding"
The federal transportation department threatened to strip New York of $73 million and decertify the state's commercial driver's license (CDL) program over alleged unlawful issuance to non-domiciled individuals. The department's audit reportedly found that 53% of New York's non-domiciled CDLs were issued unlawfully or illegally. The department warned New York would have 30 days to revoke allegedly invalid licenses or face phased funding cuts. New York's DMV rejected the accusations and stated that the state complies with federal CDL regulations.
