JUST IN: Sean Duffy Threatens Funding For CA, WA, NM Over ELP Requirements For Commercial Drivers

Published | Video Starts at 02:45

So this one driver touched all three states. Based on our review, they are not complying with our rule. And so phase one for us, which I'm announcing today, is We are going to give these states 30 days to come into compliance with truck drivers speaking proficiently the English language or we're going to look at federal funding that they receive under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program. So I believe California is 20 million or 30 million. 30 million. Washington is 10 million and New Mexico is 7 million. Jesse will confirm that in a second. (02:45–03:03)
