Bill Summary
Relative to commercial driver licensing. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill aims to amend the existing law (Chapter 90F of the General Laws) to require the registrar to administer the commercial driver's license tests in Portuguese, Spanish, and any other language deemed necessary as a reasonable accommodation for limited-English proficient applicants. However, the bill specifies that the language accommodation provision does not exempt the applicant from demonstrating sufficient English language proficiency to communicate with the public, understand road signs, respond to inquiries, and make reports and records as required by federal guidelines.
