US EditionDalilah’s Law Clears House Transportation & Infrastructure
Dalilah’s Law would enhance commercial driver’s license standards by requiring English proficiency, verifying immigration status, and increasing penalties for noncompliance, lawmakers say.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure cleared amended H.R. 5688, known as Dalilah’s Law, after Rep. David Rouzer unveiled the update on Monday, March 16.
- Dalilah Coleman’s severe injuries prompted the namesake bill and public attention, and her appearance at the State of the Union last month helped build momentum after President Donald Trump urged action on Feb. 24.
- The bill would force state licensing agencies to verify applicants’ status, with federal funds withholding for noncompliant states, and ban foreign dispatch services, brokers, and CDL mills.
- Industry groups hailed the amended bill as a necessary step to restore accountability, with OOIDA President Todd Spencer and American Trucking Associations CEO Chris Spear praising its enforcement and safety provisions alongside support from forty-eight state trucking associations.
- FMCSA’s final rule took effect on March 16, while H.R. 5688 seeks to codify the DOT/FMCSA standard into law; U.S. Sen. John Cornyn and U.S. Sen. Jim Banks proposed parallel recertification bills as Rouzer removed the mandatory recertification provision.
