Bill Summary
AN ACT Amending section 28-3223, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to commercial driver licenses.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding commercial driver licenses (CDLs) by adding a new requirement for original applicants. Specifically, it mandates that applicants for a class A, B, or C CDL must demonstrate English proficiency, which will be assessed through an examination covering reading, speaking, writing, and listening skills. This addition to the existing requirements, which already include medical standards, prior driving experience, and various knowledge examinations on safe operation, vehicle control, and legal requirements, aims to ensure that commercial drivers can effectively communicate and understand critical information in English.
