Bill > HB1371

This bill proposes to repeal the existing requirement for commercial driver license (CDL) applicants in Arkansas to complete a human trafficking prevention course before obtaining their license. Currently, individuals seeking a Class A commercial driver license must either complete a human trafficking prevention course administered by the state division or become a Certified Trucker Against Trafficking by completing an online certification course. The bill would eliminate these training mandates, removing the provisions that previously required drivers to demonstrate knowledge about human trafficking as part of the licensing process. By repealing these specific subsections of Arkansas Code § 27-23-108(e), the legislation would simplify the commercial driver licensing requirements and remove the mandatory training component related to human trafficking awareness that was previously in place for new and renewing CDL holders.
