MODERATE
The bill was amended to shift the sex trafficking awareness program from a general development goal to a mandatory curriculum requirement for all commercial driver license training. The updated version mandates that training utilize existing materials from nationally recognized anti-trafficking organizations and requires a minimum of thirty minutes of instruction, ensuring standardized education for drivers rather than optional literature distribution.
Scope change
The program's applicability expanded from providing materials to licensed drivers to requiring formal training for all trade schools, community colleges, and institutions offering commercial motor vehicle instruction.
REQUIREMENT
Changed the mandate from 'developing' a program to 'implementing' it within specific curriculum requirements for commercial driver licenses.
Added a requirement to use existing materials from a nationally recognized anti-trafficking organization.
Established a minimum training duration of thirty minutes.
ELIGIBILITY
Expanded the target audience from licensed drivers to include all educational institutions and persons offering instruction in commercial motor vehicle operation.
TECHNICAL
Added unrelated text regarding driver's license application procedures, including sex designation options and social security number requirements, which appears to be a copy-paste error from a different bill.
