Tennessee HB1023 amends commercial driver license regulations to require English proficiency for safety inspections.
Tennessee HB1023 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 55 and Title 65, Chapter 15, to modify commercial driver license regulations. It mandates that during safety inspections, commercial drivers must demonstrate sufficient English language proficiency to converse with the public, understand traffic signs, respond to inquiries, and complete required reports. If a driver fails to meet these English language requirements, an out-of-service order is issued, preventing the vehicle from operating until a qualified substitute driver is present.
