From Times Wire Reports
State lawmakers are considering a proposal that would require drivers to prove proficiency in English before receiving a license. GOP Rep. Dennis Himmelberger said his proposal would require examiners to determine if an applicant needs a proficiency test. Examiners would also determine applicants’ citizenship and note their home country on the license.
A House committee took no immediate action on the measure.
