This bill mandates that applicants for class A, B, or C commercial drivers licenses (CDLs) in Iowa must certify that they have completed a course of instruction that includes approved human trafficking prevention training. Specifically, the bill requires that at least 30 minutes of this training be provided in English as part of the course offered by instructors of commercial motor vehicle operation.

Additionally, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT), in collaboration with the Department of Education and the State Board of Education, is tasked with approving human trafficking prevention training materials that focus on the recognition, prevention, and reporting of human trafficking. These materials must be made publicly available, and the departments are required to review and update the training content at least every three years to reflect current trends in human trafficking.
