Order Granting Administrative Stay of interim final rule titled Restoring Integrity to the Issuance of Non-Domiciled CDLs

On November 10, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an administrative stay of the interim final rule Restoring Integrity to the Issuance of Non-Domiciled Commercial Drivers Licenses (CDL), 90 Fed. Reg. 46,509 (Sept. 29, 2025) that prevents the interim final rule from taking effect until further notice. Accordingly, until further notice, States are not prohibited from issuing non-domiciled CDLs and commercial learner’s permits in accordance with the FMCSA’s regulations and guidance in effect immediately prior to issuance of the interim final rule. States that are subject to a corrective action plan that imposes a pause on non-domiciled CLP and CDL issuance until evidence of compliance with FMCSA’s regulations and guidance, in effect immediately prior to issuance of the interim final rule, has been provided to FMCSA must continue to comply with the requirements of the plan.
