Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said FMCSA audited 200 sample records and found that more than half contained significant problems, such as licenses remaining valid long after the holder’s authorization to be in the country had lapsed.Governor Kathy Hochul’s office called the action a baseless attack on blue states, noting that New York issues CDLs under federally issued rules and that audits from the first Trump administration supported its practices.The DOT also warned that an additional $147 million in federal funding could be at risk if New York remains out of compliance, and threatened to bar the state from issuing any new CDLs if it does not revoke the flagged licenses.
