Governor backs bill to revoke non-domiciled CDLs, says it strengthens roadway safety
Summary
The governor described a bill directing the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to revoke non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses and to consult with DHS on identification, framing the measure as a step to protect Hoosiers on roadways.
The governor described legislative action taken this session to strengthen roadway safety by removing commercial driver's licenses from individuals who no longer have legal status.
"We now have a bill that directs the BMV to revoke non-domiciled CDLs and to consult with DHS to identify the individuals that this applies to," the governor said, adding that he believes it is among the first measures of its kind in the country.
He tied the effort to collaboration with federal partners, saying the state has worked with DHS and ICE "from the beginning," and cited prior operations to remove individuals who pose risks on roadways. The governor framed the action as part of public-safety priorities considered during the session.
The governor answered follow-up questions by reiterating support for operations intended to keep roadways safe and described the bill as the next step following ongoing work with federal agencies.
