New senate bill targets driver’s licenses as well as CDLs

A Senate bill aims to prevent illegal immigrants from being issued a driver’s license. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., recently introduced the No Licenses for Illegal Drivers or Truckers Act. S4317 would require states to verify legal status before issuing a driver’s license, commercial driver’s license or personal identification card. Under the bill, states that fail to comply would face a 10% reduction in federal highway funding. These funds would then be redirected to states that follow the requirements. Congress and federal regulators have already made efforts to address concerns regarding the issuance of CDLs. However, Barrasso’s bill takes it a step further by including all driver’s licenses. “Since many illegal immigrants do not speak English and cannot read road signs, these drivers make roads less safe for the law-abiding public,” Barrasso said in a news release. “While Wyoming already prohibits illegal immigrants from getting driver’s licenses, 19 states and the District of Columbia continue to issue personal and commercial driver’s licenses without verifying legal status. My legislation will ensure states follow the law and prioritize public safety.” The No Licenses for Illegal Drivers or Truckers Act is co-sponsored by Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo. “States that thumb their nose at federal immigration law should lose highway funding, and those dollars should rightfully go to states that follow the law,” Lummis said. “Wyoming has always done things the right way, and it’s past time the rest of the country catches up.” The U.S. Department of Transportation has already handed out fines against states that didn’t follow its rules regarding non-domiciled CDLs. Earlier this month, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced that it was withholding about $73 million from the state of New York for failing to revoke “illegally issued” non-domiciled CDLs and commercial learner’s permits. “I promised the American people I would hold any state leader accountable for failing to keep them safe from unvetted, unqualified foreign drivers,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a news release. “I’m delivering on that promise today by refusing to fund Gov. (Kathy) Hochul’s dangerous, anti-American policies. My message to New York’s far left leadership is clear: families must be prioritized on American roads.” LL

Wyoming goes all in on English proficiency enforcement

Across the country, states are moving to enforce a basic rule: truck drivers must be proficient in English. A new law in Wyoming puts more cops on the job. The job of enforcement is not unique to state and county law enforcement. Lawmakers went a step further. Federal law already requires English proficiency Federal law says truck drivers must know enough English to read road signs and follow directions. But for nearly a decade, drivers who failed that rule were often allowed to keep rolling. The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association pushed last year for the penalty to come back. Soon after, President Donald Trump signed an order reinstating the rule. The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance then reinstated penalties for truck drivers who fail the English requirement. NO ENGLISH, NO TRUCKING! NEW Wyoming law lets cops pull DANGEROUS drivers who don’t speak our language off the road Kudos to @GovernorGordon for putting AMERICANS FIRST https://t.co/Idk4gdTzCK — Secretary Sean Duffy (@SecDuffy) March 7, 2026 New Wyoming law In Wyoming, only the Wyoming Highway Patrol used to enforce the English rule. A new law changes that. Certified local police can now step in. Drivers who ignore an order to stop could face a $1,000 fine. Repeat offenders could face $2,000 fines and up to 90 days in jail. The Wyoming Trucking Association and the Highway Patrol support the new rule. During a hearing, Lt. Kyle McKay said the move is long overdue. “ From June 25, 2025, to January 31, 2026, the Wyoming Highway Patrol has had 775 violations for this particular regulation within Wyoming,” McKay said. “Those drivers, all 775, were placed out of service. And we’ve had 19 repeat offenders that have been incarcerated on the violation itself.” He said letting local police enforce the rule should lead to even more unsafe trucks being parked. WTA’s Kevin Hawley added that local officers can only enforce the English-language rule. “They are not a CVSA-certified inspector. So, they’re not going to be crawling around doing anything in the CMV world,” Hawley said. Sen. Stephan Pappas, R-Cheyenne, said the goal is simple: ensure that truck drivers lacking English proficiency do not endanger the public on the road. “The intent of the bill is to make sure that people who can’t read road signs don’t pose a threat to our motoring public,” Pappas said. “Because we’ve seen too many bad things happen when that’s the case.” U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., also praised the new law. “If you cannot speak or read English, you should not be driving an 80,000-pound truck,” Hageman posted on X. “Proud to see Wyoming leading the way to protect families by enforcing English language proficiency to keep dangerous illegals off our roads.” Hageman helped initiate the discussion on English proficiency for truck drivers. She sent a letter to U.S. DOT Secretary Sean Duffy a year ago addressing the issue. LL More Land Line coverage of Wyoming news is available.
