Hamm, Brown propose English-only driver’s license tests, citing safety concerns
Legislators propose a bill requiring English for the written commercial driver's license test to standardize licensing requirements across the state.
- Joe Hamm, state legislator, and Marla Brown, state legislator, are asking their legislative colleagues to cosponsor a bill, reflecting an active push in the Pennsylvania Legislature.
- The bill would require the written portion of the CDL test be taken in English by people seeking commercial driver's licenses, targeting the exam rather than overall licensing.
- Reported on northcentralpa.com as part of the BLOX Digital Content Exchange, the story was distributed through Commonwealth Media Services.
- People seeking commercial driver's licenses in the Commonwealth would face an English-only written exam, impacting applicants who use non-English testing options and employers who hire CDL holders in Pennsylvania.
- Procedure-first: the cosponsor drive comes prior to formal introduction as Hamm and Brown solicit cosponsors, signaling an active early-stage legislative strategy in the statehouse.
