Lawmaker pushes for English-only CDL tests in South Carolina
A legislative effort in the South Carolina statehouse is intended to ensure that aspiring truckers and other drivers have a firm grasp of the English language before they obtain their licenses to drive.
Senate Pro Tem Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston, has introduced a bill – S857 – that would require all state agencies and local governments to “offer all services, publications, printed, audio, and video materials, and tests in an English-only format” unless directed otherwise by federal law or regulation. The requirement would apply to people applying for commercial driver’s licenses.
