Sen. Banks Leads Senate Introduction of Dalilah’s Law Act to Ban Illegal Aliens From Commercial Trucking

~194,000 noncitizens currently hold non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses, out of roughly 2.4 million total CDL holders in the U.S.

The trucking industry estimates a shortage of 60,000–82,000 drivers, and foreign-born workers make up roughly 18–19% of all U.S. truck drivers

5 fatal crashes involving non-domiciled CDL holders were identified in the first 8 months of 2025, out of roughly 1,600 total fatal truck crashes in that period

Under current federal law, CDL knowledge tests can be taken in any language — California offers testing in up to 20 languages

The federal government provides approximately $18 billion per year in public transit funding — money noncompliant states would lose under the bill's enforcement mechanism
