A challenge to a federal motor carrier safety administration (fmcsa) rule regarding commercial driver's licenses (cdls) for non-domiciled individuals has been paused by an appeals court. However, there is some uncertainty as to the nature of the court's decision, with some reports indicating a rejection of requests to pause the rule and others stating that the rule itself has been paused. The court's action has resulted in a temporary halt to the implementation of the rule, although the specifics of the decision are not entirely clear.
