Bill > HR7758

This bill, known as The Dalilah Law, aims to prohibit the issuance of commercial driver's licenses (CDLs), which are licenses required to operate large or heavy vehicles, to individuals who are not citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States, or who do not hold specific work visas. It amends existing law to require that applicants for a CDL must be citizens, lawful permanent residents, or nonimmigrants with specific visa types (E(ii), H(ii)(a), or H(ii)(b) from the Immigration and Nationality Act) and must also demonstrate English language proficiency and pass all required tests in English. The bill also introduces a lifetime disqualification for operating a commercial motor vehicle for individuals who are not citizens, lawful permanent residents, or holders of these specific work visas, with limited exceptions. Furthermore, states must recertify existing CDL holders within 180 days of the bill's enactment to ensure they meet these new requirements, and failure to do so, or failure to revoke licenses of those who don't meet the criteria, can result in the withholding of federal funding to that state.
