A bill for an act relating to sufficient English language proficiency requirements for commercial drivers, providing penalties, and including applicability provisions.

Summary

The bill mandates that anyone applying for or renewing a commercial driver’s license or learner’s permit must pass a computer‑based English language test meeting federal standards. Drivers who lack sufficient English may not operate a commercial vehicle, and carriers that employ such drivers face civil fines. Violations are treated as serious misdemeanors with possible jail time and monetary penalties.
