The Dalilah Law

Section 2(d): Requires current commercial driver's license holders to be recertified to verify that they are citizens, lawful permanent residents, or hold specific valid work visas. This provision ensures that only individuals with proper legal status retain their driving privileges.

Section 2(d): Mandates that commercial driver's license holders must be proficient in the English language and have passed all required tests in English. This ensures clear communication and shared language understanding on the road.

Section 2(e): Penalizes states that fail to follow these rules by withholding federal funding. This holds state officials accountable for enforcing the citizenship, visa, and English proficiency requirements strictly.

Section 2(c): Imposes a lifetime disqualification from operating a commercial motor vehicle on individuals who drive without being a citizen, lawful permanent resident, or holding a specific valid work visa. This permanent ban removes an individual's ability to earn a living in this field for life.

Section 2(d) and Section 2(e): Forces states to revoke commercial driver's licenses and withhold federal funding if drivers or applicants do not meet the strict English language testing requirements or citizenship criteria. This could cause driver shortages or burden state administrative agencies with tight deadlines.
