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

The Dalilah Law is currently advancing toward a full House vote after clearing the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, while a companion version remains under review in the Senate. If enacted, the legislation would immediately restrict commercial driver's licenses to U.S. citizens and legal residents, potentially disqualifying thousands of current non-citizen drivers and penalizing states that fail to verify immigration status.

The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure approves the measure, clearing the way for a full chamber vote.

🚨JUST IN: Dalilah’s Law passed @TransportGOP and is headed to the house floor. I’m extremely grateful to our strong House Republican leadership, for putting American lives first, and for sweet Dalilah Coleman and her father, Marcus Coleman spearheading this monumental change in trucking safety. @RepDavidRouzer’s bill, Dalilah’s Law, is simple: 🗣️ NO English, NO license 🚛 States must verify CDLs aren’t issued to illegal immigrants 👮‍♂️ More penalties for states that failed to comply including federal funding being withheld
