This bill establishes new regulations regarding the operation of commercial motor vehicles by unauthorized aliens in Florida. It creates a new section, 316.3021, which mandates that law enforcement officers must take into custody any individual operating a commercial motor vehicle who is identified as an unauthorized alien, as defined in existing law. These individuals must then be transferred to the custody of a federal immigration agency. Additionally, any commercial motor vehicle operated by such an individual must be impounded, and the owner will be required to pay a $50,000 fine along with associated costs and fees before the vehicle can be released.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits motor carriers that own, lease, or operate commercial motor vehicles driven by individuals taken into custody under this section from operating within the state. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2026.
