“So, one, I’m about to pull $160 million from California,” Duffy said. “And as we pull more money, we also have the option of pulling California’s ability to issue commercial driver’s licenses.”
Duffy had previously warned that California could lose its ability to issue commercial driver’s licenses and risk losing more funding if it failed to comply with the DOT rules.
The federal government has already withheld more than $40 million in funding from California after an investigation found the state had not met federal English-language proficiency standards for truck drivers.
