Ohio pulls 1,200 commercial truck licenses for immigration guidelines
Ohio is downgrading the commercial driver’s licenses of 1,200 foreign-born truck drivers for not meeting new federal proof-of-legal-status requirements.
The downgraded licenses are changed to Class D, preventing their use for commercial vehicle driving in the U.S., according to Brent Crow of Ohio's Department of Public Safety.
Affected drivers may request a hearing with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to dispute the downgrade or submit more documentation to prove eligibility.
Ohio has contacted about 5,000 non-domiciled commercial driver license holders about credential status and has stopped issuing or renewing such licenses following updated federal rules.
