Bill > HB0032

This bill requires operators of commercial vehicles in Wyoming to demonstrate proficiency in the English language, as defined by federal regulations (49 C.F.R. § 391.11(b)(2)), and prohibits those who cannot from operating such vehicles within the state. Violators will face a $1,000 fine and be barred from operating commercial vehicles until they can prove English language proficiency, with subsequent violations while under prohibition resulting in a misdemeanor charge, an additional $1,000 fine, and potential jail time of up to 90 days. The bill also designates highway patrol, other department-appointed enforcement officers, and local peace officers with the duty and authority to police and enforce these new English proficiency requirements for commercial vehicle operators.
