STOP Improper Licensing Act

This bill would require the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to audit, within 3 years, how each state issues commercial driver's licenses to non-domiciled drivers, using a random sample of licenses. The audit would focus on licenses kept active after a driver's lawful presence expired and licenses issued without checking lawful presence. Results would be shared with states for comment, posted online, and reported to Congress. States found out of compliance would have to fix problems or submit a plan, and states with higher error rates would face follow-up audits. A state that does not respond after a final noncompliance determination would have all its FMCSA funding withheld until it comes back into compliance.
