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 in Arkansas Code 27-23-108(e), which mandates that individuals must either complete 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, potentially making it easier for individuals to obtain their licenses without the additional training. 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.
