South Dakota would require that all commercial driver license holders be proficient in English, adding a new qualification to the existing requirements for getting or keeping a commercial license. The bill amends the state's commercial driver licensing law to include this English proficiency standard alongside current requirements like driver training and passing knowledge and skills tests. Violating this requirement would result in a penalty, though the bill text provided doesn't specify what that penalty would be.
