After a full on showdown at the state capitol in Little Rock, the Arkansas state legislature has passed a bill that would impose up to $1,000 fines on commercial vehicle (CMV) drivers in the state who can’t readily speak and read English, as well as making it a Class D felony for foreign drivers to operate a CMV without proper documentation or with false credentials.

The bill passed on Wednesday with a vote of 82 Yeas, 18 non votes, and not a single vote against it. The bill now awaits Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ signature to become law.

The bill, HB 1745, had backing from the Arkansas Trucking Association, and was also supported by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, and comes as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s newly minted leadership acknowledges having serious conversations about drivers who can’t speak English, foreign drivers, and nondomiciled CDLs, which are CDLs states issue to non-permanent residents.

In a 2016 memo, FMCSA relaxed guidance around 49 CFR 391.11(b)(2), a regulation that requires CMV drivers to “read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language, to respond to official inquiries, and to make entries on reports and records” after the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance removed it as an out-of-service violation.
