Bill Summary
This bill requires the Chief Administrator of the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to make the driver's license examination test available in Italian. In the last few years, the MVC has eliminated the administration of the examination test in several foreign languages, including Italian. Applicants who would have taken the test in Italian may be accompanied by an interpreter who meets certain criteria. Obtaining an interpreter, however, places an additional burden on the applicant. Under the provisions of this bill, the MVC would be required to reinstate a driver's license examination test in Italian.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the Chief Administrator of the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) must offer the driver's license knowledge test in Italian, in addition to English and other commonly spoken foreign languages already provided. This change aims to address the recent elimination of the Italian language option for the test, which previously placed an additional burden on Italian-speaking applicants who had to rely on interpreters. The bill requires the MVC to reinstate the Italian language version of the examination, ensuring greater accessibility for all applicants.
