Requires all commercial driver's license applicants to pass an English proficiency test.
The SAFE Drivers Act mandates that all applicants for a commercial driver's license must demonstrate English language proficiency. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will develop and approve the English proficiency test, which evaluates reading, writing, and understanding English in the context of commercial vehicle operation. State departments of motor vehicles will administer this test as part of the licensing process. States must report annually on test results and compliance. The Secretary of Transportation may withhold federal funds from non-compliant states.
