South Dakota Governor signs trucker English proficiency and CDL bills to ‘deliver Dalilah’s Law’
This week, South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden signed two bills imposing stricter language and citizenship requirements on commercial driver license (CDL) holders.
On March 10, 2026, Rhoden signed the following two bills into law in an effort to strengthen standards for CDL holders in South Dakota:
- SB 164, which requires CDL holders to be proficient in the English language
- SB 180, which modifies requirements regarding non-domiciled CDLs
Rhoden said in a news release announcing the signing of the bills into law that South Dakota has now satisfied President Trump’s call for states to pass “Dalilah’s Law,” which would “increase standards for English proficiency and prohibit states from issuing CDLs to undocumented immigrants.”
Trump pushed for “Dalilah’s Law” during his State of the Union address in February.
“These bills are commonsense steps to improve public safety by guaranteeing that truckers can read our road signs and making sure that only citizens and legal immigrants hold CDLs. South Dakota will continue to prioritize strong licensing standards so all drivers are traveling safely and responsibly,” Rhoden said.
Rhoden also said that the state has partnered with federal immigration authorities for an enforcement detail.
“The [South Dakota] Department of Public Safety (DPS) recently conducted an enforcement operation alongside the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. DPS also reviewed its process for non-domiciled CDLs to ensure illegal immigrants are not operating with or receiving CDLs in South Dakota,” Rhoden said.
Dalilah’s Law was named for Dalilah Coleman, a child who was injured in a June 20, 2024, crash in California involving Partap Singh, who was driving a semi truck. Officials said that Singh was an Indian national present in the U.S. illegally. He was later taken into U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.
Much action has already been taken at a federal level over the past year to tighten citizenship requirements for obtaining a non-domiciled CDL and to increase English Language Proficiency enforcement for truck drivers.
The USC Trojans men’s basketball team added one more piece to an already stacked transfer portal class on Thursday.
Transfer guard Isaac Bruns heads to the Downtown Los Angeles region, leaving South Dakota, per college basketball insider Joe Tipton. Bruns follows former Lindenwood University guard Jadis Jones to USC, who committed to coach Eric Musselman and company 24 hours earlier.
Background on USC Addition Isaac Bruns
Musselman swoops up a 20-point scoring option here.
Bruns dropped 20.8 points per game for the Coyotes last season and delivered a 39 percent shooting percentage from behind the arc. He delivered 12 different 20-point contests in 20 games played during the 2025-26 campaign.
The 6-5 shooter even lit up power conference teams and March Madness qualifiers when he was on the floor.
He delivered a 29-point outburst against Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) champion Prairie View A&M during South Dakota’s 97-85 win on Dec. 13. Bruns produced 19 points against Kansas State out of the Big 12 during the season, too. He even scored 22 on Wyoming from the Mountain West Conference, plus 16 versus a Creighton team that was ranked No. 23 at the time.
Isaac Bruns Adds Needed Wrinkle for USC
Musselman and the coaching staff are swiftly addressing last season’s weaknesses.
The backcourt play sustained the most hits through injuries and inconsistency. Hence why USC made a run at Georgetown’s KJ Lewis, Colgate’s Jalen Cox, Hawaii’s Aaron Hunkin-Claytor, and the Wednesday pickup out of the Ohio Valley Conference, Jones.
All present their strengths: Lewis offering a combo guard presence, Cox as a facilitator and scorer, Hunkin-Claytor for his reliable defense, and Jones bringing a post and defensive presence.
Musselman and the Trojans still lacked a true long range scoring presence, until now.
The North Sioux City native has buried more than 31 percent of his attempts from behind the arc during his three seasons with South Dakota. Plus, he’s fresh off delivering a career-best mark for 3-point shooting, which featured 11 games in hitting multiple long-distance baskets.
Where USC’s Transfer Portal Class Stands
To recap, USC now has pulled in seven total transfers during this current cycle.
And once again, addressing the backcourt rose as the biggest offseason need. But locating a consistent marksman from deep surfaced as another pivotal need for a USC team that floundered late and missed out on landing in the field of 68.
The now former Summit League star Bruns fills that void in the land of Troy. This officially signals that USC is done adding to the roster, per Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times.
The Trojans will welcome back prized freshman Alijah Arenas for one more season, who boosts the backend of the floor with his return. Arenas now enters a guard room featuring eight different options Musselman can choose from.
USC presents up to eight frontcourt options, which now features the UConn transfer Eric Reibe at center. But Bruns entering the picture will boost the Trojans’ national portal ranking higher from here. Plus, spark conversations for USC, boasting one of the nation’s deepest backcourts, especially among Big Ten teams.

Gov. Larry Rhoden is activating the state Drought Task Force to monitor drought conditions across South Dakota.
This task force coordinates the exchange of drought-related information among government agencies, according to the state Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The collaboration aims to improve the state’s response to agriculture, fire management and water supply issues.
“My administration is committed to protecting our farmers, ranchers, and communities across the state. While recent rainfall has provided some relief, drought is still impacting parts of South Dakota,” said Rhoden. “The Drought Task Force will help us closely monitor conditions and respond quickly if needed.”
This comes as the latest drought monitor shows extremely dry conditions across southern South Dakota, while central parts of the state are experiencing abnormally dry conditions.
The task force’s first meeting is Thursday.
State agencies represented on the task force include the governor’s office, Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Department of Public Safety, Department of Game, Fish and Parks, South Dakota National Guard, Department of Social Services, Department of Tourism, and the Department of Tribal Relations. Additional partners include USDA’s Farm Service Agency and Natural Resource Conservation Service, South Dakota State University Extension and School of Mines climatologists, the National Weather Service and South Dakota Rural Water.
Because of the dry conditions, officials are urging the public to use caution with open burns and other activities that could start fires.
