Relating to commercial driving privileges.
HB 3898 requires Oregon's Department of Transportation to offer written commercial driver license examinations in both English and Spanish to applicants seeking commercial driving privileges. This directly affects individuals applying for commercial driver licenses (CDLs) in Oregon who may prefer or require Spanish-language testing. The bill mandates that the written knowledge test must be available in both languages, ensuring accessibility for Spanish-speaking applicants without altering other exam requirements. The policy change applies to all written commercial driver exams administered on or after the bill's effective date.
