The bill proposes the repeal of the requirement for individuals to complete a human trafficking prevention course in order to obtain a Class A commercial driver license in Arkansas. Specifically, it seeks to remove the existing legal language that mandates the completion of such a course, which could be administered by the division or an approved third party, as well as the alternative option of becoming a Certified Trucker Against Trafficking.

By eliminating this requirement, the bill aims to simplify the process for obtaining a commercial driver license, potentially making it more accessible for applicants. The repeal also affects the renewal process, as current license holders will no longer need to demonstrate completion of the human trafficking prevention training for renewal, provided they had completed it at least once in the past.
