The court action asserted some CATA members have valid California non-domiciled CDLs that will soon expire and cannot be renewed due to the pause,​ FMCSA recently permanently took back $158 million in highway funding from California for failing to revoke illegally issued non-domiciled CDLs by Jan. 5. CATA had challenged both the FMCSA’s regulatory enforcement halting California’s issuance of non-domiciled CDLs and the DMV’s subsequent pause. Another legal action against FMCSA for revised non-domiciled CDLs is stalled in U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. After a federal audit, the state identified 17,000 illegally issued non-domiciled CDLs.
