New CDL rule stayed by D.C.C.

On November 10, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ordered that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's interim final rule (IFR), 90 Fed. Reg. 46, 509 (Sept. 29, 2025) be administratively stayed pending further review by the Court.

While the administrative stay's purpose is to give the Court time to consider the emergency motions for stay before it, the effect is that the IFR is not currently in force. At the time of writing, PennDOT's (Pennsylvania Department of Transportation) website does not reflect that IFR has been stayed. Stay tuned.
