The Dalilah Law

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