This legislation would require states to take specific measures to get illegal alien truck drivers off America’s roads to receive federal Department of Transportation funding. Key provisions include revoking all trucking licenses currently issued to illegal aliens and aliens with temporary status, whether or not such persons have work authorization.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Banks publicly announced and described a bill matching the promise’s core policy: conditioning DOT funding on revoking commercial trucking licenses from illegal aliens and people with temporary status, regardless of work authorization.

FMCSA final rule effective March 16, 2026 limits non-domiciled CLP/CDL eligibility for foreign-domiciled individuals to specified employment-based nonimmigrant statuses, requires SAVE verification before issuance/renewal/upgrade, and requires downgrade procedures when eligibility is not confirmed.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is a partial policy delivery through DOT/FMCSA: it tightens state CDL issuance and renewal rules and can trigger CDL downgrades, but it does not fully enact Banks's broader pledge to revoke all commercial trucking licenses held by illegal aliens and temporary-status aliens as a condition of DOT funding.

GovInfo lists S. 3917, sponsored by Jim Banks, as introduced in the Senate on February 25, 2026, read twice, and referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation; the bill text includes state recertification, revocation, and withholding-of-covered-funding provisions.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Banks introduced legislation matching the promise's core mechanism, but the official bill record still reflects only introduction and committee referral, not enactment. That supports continued non-delivery of the full promised statutory outcome while preserving an effort badge.

Banks introduced S.3917, The Dalilah Law, which closely matched the promise by conditioning DOT funding on state revocation of commercial trucking licenses for illegal aliens and aliens with temporary status. But the bill has not been enacted and remains at the introduced/referred-to-committee stage, so the full promised statutory requirement was not delivered. A 2026 FMCSA/DOT rule did tighten non-domiciled CDL eligibility, verification, and downgrade/revocation procedures, but it is narrower than the pledge and still permits some temporary-status workers, so it supports only partial fulfillment. Banks should receive an effort badge for a serious legislative attempt.

Banks introduced S.3917, The Dalilah Law, in the 119th Congress, and its stated provisions match the promise by conditioning federal DOT funding on states revoking commercial trucking licenses for illegal aliens and aliens with temporary status regardless of work authorization. However, the bill has not been enacted; the latest available status is referral to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, with related House action limited to committee approval rather than final passage. This is a serious legislative attempt during Banks's current Senate term, but the promised policy outcome has not been delivered.
