Previously, knowledge exams for most noncommercial driver license classifications were offered in multiple languages. Commercial learner’s permit (CLP) and commercial driver’s license (CDL) knowledge exams were available only in English and Spanish.
To enact the policy, FLHSMV said it updated its driver license testing system statewide. Language translation services will no longer be permitted for knowledge or skills examinations, and printed exams in languages other than English will be removed.
