To require anyone operating a vehicle that requires a CDL in WV to be able to read and speak the English language.

HB 4441 requires anyone applying for a commercial driver's license (CDL) in West Virginia to be able to read and speak English. This applies specifically to new CDL applicants seeking a license in the state. The bill amends existing law (§17E-1-9) to explicitly add this language requirement alongside other existing standards like passing knowledge/skills tests and meeting federal regulations. It does not affect current CDL holders or change other existing qualifications for obtaining a CDL.
