A bill that would require all written driver’s license tests to be given only in English is making its way through the Tennessee General Assembly.

Sponsored by Sen. Joey Hensley (R-Hohenwald) and Rep. Kip Capley (R-Summertown), SB1717/HB1730 “prohibits use of a translation dictionary, electronic device, or interpreter to assist with the examination.” The bill will be taken up by the Senate Transportation and Safety Committee on March 6.
