HF 2100 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act prohibiting the use of a language other than English for commercial driver’s license examinations.

HF 2100 prohibits the use of any language other than English for commercial driver's license (CDL) examinations in Iowa. It directly affects individuals applying for CDLs by requiring all written and oral exam components to be conducted solely in English. The bill amends Iowa Code sections 1.18(5)i and 321.187(1) to remove an existing exception allowing non-English exams at driver's license stations, specifically for CDL tests. This change ensures CDL examinations align with Iowa's official language requirement for government communications, without impacting regular driver's license exams.
