(Pierre, SD) — A bill in the state legislature would make English proficiency tests a requirement for drivers licenses. It’s state Senator Taffy Howard’s second attempt to push a bill like this through the legislature. This time, legislators will hear from the Department of Public Safety on if it would be effective. The bill would allow law enforcement to issue citations to a driver of a large vehicle if they cannot show proficiency in English. The bill just needs to pass in the House before it would be sent to Governor Rhoden.
