Summary
English-language proficiency standard for commercial drivers. This bill would require commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators to meet a four-part English test: converse with the public, read and understand highway traffic signs, respond to official questions, and make entries on reports and records, and it lets authorized enforcement officers declare noncompliant drivers out of service under existing Federal rules.
Show full summary
- Drivers: A CMV operator judged not to meet the English skills could be declared out of service by an authorized enforcement officer.
- Enforcement officers and rules: Links language noncompliance specifically to 49 CFR 391.11(b)(2) out-of-service authority while preserving other out-of-service criteria under existing law.
- Public and road safety focus: Establishes a concrete standard aimed at ensuring drivers can interact with the public and read traffic signs to perform safe operations.

Stricter English rules for commercial drivers
This bill would set a clear English standard for commercial drivers. Drivers would need to talk with the public, read road signs in English, answer official questions, and fill out reports. If an officer finds a driver does not meet this rule, the driver could be put out of service. Being out of service could stop work and pay until the driver shows compliance. Other out-of-service orders under federal rules would still apply as they do now.
