The Dalilah Law

This bill would limit commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and holders of certain work visas (E-2, H-2A, and H-2B). It would require the federal Secretary of Transportation to ban for life anyone who drives a commercial vehicle in the U.S. without that status, with exceptions for some business visitors and travelers with valid travel authorization. States would have 180 days to recheck all current CDL holders for legal status, English proficiency, and passing all license tests in English, and would have to revoke licenses of those who fail or do not recertify. States that do not complete these steps, that issue licenses to people without the required status or English proficiency, or that give license tests in other languages would lose all federal transportation funding from the Secretary.
