Texas Department of Public Safety - Petition for Rulemaking

Summary: The Texas Department of Public Safety is petitioning the FMCSA to amend federal regulations to prohibit the reciprocal recognition of Mexican and Canadian commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) for intrastate commerce outside a driver's jurisdiction of domicile. They argue that these licenses are frequently obtained fraudulently, posing significant risks to public safety and national security, and provide crash data and law enforcement reports as evidence.
