Summary:  \nCS/SB 86 creates penalties regarding the operation of commercial motor vehicles (CMV) by unauthorized aliens. Specifically, the bill does the following:  \n• Declares that the operation of a commercial motor vehicle by an unauthorized alien is an imminent safety hazard and provides certain requirements for CMV drivers.  \n• Requires specified law enforcement officers to take an unauthorized alien operating a CMV into custody and facilitate the transfer of such person to a federal immigration agency.  \n• Imposes a $50,000 civil penalty on motor carriers for either an immediate incident-based penalty, or through an audit/investigation-based penalty.  \n• Allows the Office of Commercial Motor Vehicle Enforcement to issue an out-of-service order to motor carriers when specified violations occur.  \n• Directs the $50,000 civil penalty to be transferred to the Highway Safety Operating Trust Fund and must be used for technology and training to enforce the provisions of the bill.  \n• Provides an administrative hearing under ch. 120, F.S., must be afforded to a motor carrier subject to an out-of-service order.  \nThe bill will have an indeterminate fiscal impact on the private and governmental sectors. See Section V. Fiscal Impact Statement for details.  \nThe bill takes effect July 1, 2026.  \nII. Present Situation:  \nFlorida law defines the term \"unauthorized alien\" as a person who is unlawfully present in the United States according to the terms of the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, [8 U.S.C. ss](8 U.S.C. ss). 1101 et eq. The term shall be interpreted consistently with any applicable federal statutes, rules, or regulations.1  \nFederal Law Relating to Commercial Driver Licenses  \nThe Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1984 required the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe regulations on commercial motor vehicle safety. The regulations must prescribe minimum safety standards for commercial motor vehicles. At a minimum, the regulations must ensure that:  \n• Commercial motor vehicles are maintained, equipped, loaded, and operated safely;  \n• The responsibilities imposed on certain operators of commercial motor vehicles do not impair their ability to operate the vehicle safely;  \n• The physical condition of operators of commercial motor vehicles is adequate to enable them to operate the vehicles safely; and  \n• The operation of commercial motor vehicles does not have a deleterious effect on the physical condition of the operators. (See, 49 U. S.C. 31136(a))2  \nThe Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 prohibits any person who does not hold a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL) or a commercial learner’s permit (CLP) issued by his or her state of domicile from operating a CMV that requires a driver with a CDL. In addition, the act required the Secretary of Transportation, after consultation with the states, to prescribe regulations on minimum uniform standards for the issuance of CDLs by the states and for the information to be contained on each license (See, 49 U.S.C. 31305, 31308) .  \n49 C.F.R. §384.214 provides that a state must allow any person to operate a CMV in the State who is not disqualified from operating a CMV and who holds a CLP or CDL that is:  \n• Issued to him or her by his/her State or jurisdiction","cbCaivuexKe0SJEP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivuexKe0SJEP","pdf",306417,13,"English","# I.
