Connor's Law strengthens English proficiency requirements for commercial truck drivers by amending federal transportation regulations. The bill requires that commercial motor vehicle operators be able to read and speak English well enough to converse with the public, understand highway signs and signals, respond to official inquiries, and complete required reports and records. Drivers who fail to meet these English proficiency standards can be declared "out of service" by enforcement officers, meaning they cannot legally operate commercial vehicles until they comply. The legislation does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines, and it applies to all commercial motor vehicle operators subject to federal Department of Transportation regulations. The bill was introduced in October 2025 and referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
