NTTC Statement in Support of Dalilah’s Law

Arlington, VA — March 18, 2026 — National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC) today issued the following statement in support of H.R. 5688, also known as Dalilah’s Law, which was advanced by the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee on Wednesday, March 18:

“NTTC strongly supports Dalilah’s Law and efforts to strengthen the integrity of the commercial driver’s license (CDL) system. We appreciate the leadership of Secretary Duffy, FMCSA Administrator Barrs, and members of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee for prioritizing policies that enhance roadway safety.

Ensuring that commercial drivers are properly trained, tested, and qualified is critical—particularly in the tank truck industry, where drivers are entrusted with transporting hazardous and sensitive bulk  materials. Strengthening accountability and promoting consistent enforcement within the CDL system will help remove unsafe operators from the road while supporting the vast majority of professional drivers who uphold the highest safety standards.

NTTC looks forward to working with Congress and the Administration as Dalilah’s Law moves through the legislative process.”

The legislation is designed to improve safety by:

Enforcing English language proficiency requirements and place noncompliant drivers out of service;

Improving CDL notification systems to promptly alert carriers of invalid licenses; and

Strengthening federal oversight of training providers to ensure drivers are properly trained.

NTTC staff will monitor this legislative effort and broadcast updates when available.
