A Missouri Senate committee is moving ahead with a proposal to require driver’s license exams be administered in English only, but an amendment severely weakened the bill.
The bill from Rep. Jerry Nolte, R-Gladstone, would prohibit the state from administering written driver’s license tests in languages other than English, and it would also prohibit the use of an interpreter.
A successful amendment from Rep. Rob Schaaf, R-St. Joseph, removed the prohibition on interpreters. So as the bill stands, people who do not speak English could take the test through a state-sanctioned interpreter, at the expense of the test-taker.
