Bill > H3026

This bill proposes to amend existing law concerning commercial driver licensing by allowing the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to administer tests in languages other than English to applicants seeking a license to operate commercial motor vehicles. Specifically, the Registrar would be required to offer tests in Portuguese and Spanish if requested by an applicant, and in any other language the Registrar deems necessary as a reasonable accommodation for applicants with limited English proficiency. It is important to note that any tests administered under this provision would not be used to assess English language skills required by federal guidelines.
