California revokes 17,000 illegally issued licenses after Duffy emergency order

California has revoked 17,000 nondomiciled commercial driver’s licenses issued illegally in the state after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy demanded it do so.

The Transportation Department and the state of California have disagreed over the Golden State’s compliance with federal trucking laws for several months. Duffy continues to reprimand the state for its noncompliance, and California officials have repeatedly argued they are following all regulations.
