Georgia Department of Driver Services is taking quick action to comply with a new federal ruling on the issuance of Commercial Driver's Licenses to Non-US citizens.

The U.S. Department of Transportation announced an emergency interim final rule to strengthen federal oversight of how states issue non-domiciled commercial learner’s permits (CLPs) and commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs). The rule comes in response to a nationwide review conducted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) revealing widespread non-compliance state driver licensing agencies and a troubling series of fatal crashes caused by nondomiciled CDL holders.
