Commercial truck drivers would need to pass English-only tests
This bill would require people who want to drive commercial trucks to prove they can understand and speak English. It would also make sure that the tests for getting a commercial driver's license are only given in English. These changes would start two years after the bill becomes law.
Today, commercial driver knowledge tests can be taken in languages other than English, and there's no explicit federal requirement for English proficiency. After this bill, individuals would need to show they understand and can communicate in English to get a commercial driver's license, and all knowledge tests would only be given in English, starting two years after the bill becomes law.
