Modifies commercial drivers' license requirements for foreign applicants

Summary

The bill adds an English‑language proficiency requirement for anyone applying for a commercial driver’s license who is not a U.S. citizen, covering conversation, traffic signs, official inquiries, and record‑keeping. Drivers who cannot demonstrate this skill would be charged with misdemeanors, barred from operating commercial vehicles, and face fines; carriers with non‑compliant drivers would also be fined. The measure did not pass.
