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" in order 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 no longer necessitates training related to human trafficking prevention for both new applicants and those seeking to renew their licenses. The repeal is intended to streamline the qualifications for commercial driver licenses, potentially making it easier for individuals to enter the profession.
