Bill > HB2446

This bill requires motor carriers operating in Arizona to demonstrate English proficiency, meaning they must be able to understand and respond to verbal questions and comprehend highway traffic signs, including electronic ones. If a motor carrier fails to demonstrate sufficient English proficiency during an inspection, a designated officer or authorized law enforcement officer will issue an "out-of-service order," which is a directive preventing the carrier from operating. These roadside inspections are to be conducted solely in English, without the use of any tools like interpreters or translation apps. However, if a motor carrier is found to be proficient in English, the rest of the inspection can proceed using any communication methods that ensure safety and effectiveness.
