Dalilah's Law Aims to Strengthen Trucking Safety Standards and Oversight
Dalilah's Law, a proposed piece of legislation, seeks to enhance safety standards in the trucking industry by enforcing English language proficiency and tightening regulations on non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses (CDLs). The legislation, mentioned in President Trump's State of the Union address, has seen multiple iterations introduced in both the House and Senate. It aims to address safety gaps by prohibiting CDLs for undocumented immigrants and mandating English proficiency. The law is named after Dalilah Coleman, a child injured by a truck driver in the country illegally. The legislation targets 'CDL mills' and requires states to administer CDL exams only in English, addressing practices in states like California that offer tests in multiple languages.
