State Senator Kendal Sacchieri today celebrated the early results of her landmark legislation, Senate Bill 20, the Secure Roads and Safe Trucking Act of 2025.

The law requires commercial drivers in Oklahoma to demonstrate English proficiency and closes loopholes that previously allowed non-domiciled, non-resident drivers—many without legal status—to operate 18-wheelers on state highways.

“SB 20 is already working,” Sacchieri said. “We’re seeing enforcement in action. That will translate into fewer preventable incidents, more accountability in licensing, and stronger confidence from Oklahoma’s trucking industry.”

Sen. Sacchieri’s statement comes after Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt’s announcement that Oklahoma Highway Patrol apprehended 130 illegal immigrants along I-40 in an enforcement operation.

American Truckers United also recently highlighted how Oklahoma’s leadership on English proficiency and licensing integrity is helping set a national example for safer roads.

Sacchieri added her thanks to the Legislature for passing the bill and Gov. Stitt for signing it into law.

“This victory belongs to every Oklahoman who cares about safe roads and reliable supply chains. SB 20 is a win for workers, for families, and for our economy.”
