Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he will withhold $40 million from California because it is the only state that is failing to enforce English language requirements for truckers. The move was announced Wednesday. It comes after an investigation of a deadly Florida crash involving a foreign truck driver who made an illegal U-turn on Aug. 12. California had issued the driver a commercial license. The investigation pf the crash found what Duffy called significant failures in the way California is enforcing rules that took effect in June after one of President Donald Trump’s executive orders. Duffy says truckers are supposed to be disqualified if they can’t demonstrate English proficiency.
