The bill proposes the repeal of the requirement for completing a human trafficking prevention course as a condition for obtaining a commercial driver license in Arkansas. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate the existing legal language that mandates individuals to complete either a human trafficking prevention course or become certified as a "Trucker Against Trafficking" to qualify for a Class A commercial driver license.

By removing this requirement, the bill aims to simplify the licensing process for commercial drivers, as it will no longer necessitate training related to human trafficking prevention for new applicants or those renewing their licenses. The repeal affects the qualifications outlined in Arkansas Code 27-23-108(e), thereby streamlining the regulations governing commercial driver licenses in the state.
