Evidence

Key Provisions of the Dalilah Law: The Dalilah Law would require states to take the following action items as a condition of Department of Transportation funding: 1. Limiting trucking licenses to United States citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain work visa holders only. 2. Revoking all trucking licenses currently issued to illegal aliens and aliens with temporary status, whether or not such persons have work authorization. 3. Offering CDL knowledge and skill tests in English only.

Banks publicly introduced the bill and stated that English-only CDL knowledge and skill tests would be required as a DOT-funding condition, matching the core promise language.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Banks introduced S.3917, the Dalilah Law, in the 119th Congress, and the bill directly included the promised requirement that states offer CDL knowledge and skill tests in English only as a condition of Department of Transportation funding. However, the official status shows only introduction, second reading, and referral to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, with no enactment or final passage by the assessment date. This is a serious legislative attempt but not a delivered policy outcome.
