## Summary

**Creates a federal audit and enforcement framework** to find and fix improper issuance of commercial driver’s licenses to non-domiciled individuals. It would empower the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to audit States, publish results, require corrective plans, and withhold FMCSA funding for substantial noncompliance. - States: States would face audits of CDL issuance within 3 years and strict deadlines for responses. Audit results must be sent within 30 days, States get 30 days to comment, final findings published within 90 days, and corrective plans due within 60 days. - Non-domiciled drivers: Audits would focus on two problems: individuals who kept active licenses after lawful presence expired and licenses issued without verifying lawful presence. Error rates drive follow-up action. - Federal oversight and enforcement: FMCSA would use clear error-rate triggers for follow-up audits — over 10 percent but under 25 percent prompts a follow-up within 2 years, over 25 percent triggers annual follow-ups for 3 years. The agency must publish findings and report compliance status to Congress and may withhold funds until a State returns to compliance.
