The Dalilah Law prohibits states from issuing commercial driver's licenses to anyone who is not a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or holder of specific work visas (certain nonimmigrant visa categories). The bill requires states to recertify all existing commercial driver's license holders within 180 days of enactment to verify their citizenship or visa status, and to revoke licenses from those who fail recertification or don't meet the new requirements. Additionally, the bill mandates that all new commercial driver's license applicants and examinations be conducted in English, and anyone operating a commercial vehicle without proper citizenship or visa status faces a lifetime ban from driving commercial vehicles. To enforce compliance, the federal government will withhold all federal transportation funding from any state that fails to complete these recertifications, revocations, or status verifications by the required deadlines.
