HB 283 Original 2024 Regular Session Schlegel
Abstract: Requires commercial driver's training offered by an educational institution or agency
include instruction on human trafficking. Further requires the Board of Regents to establish
training materials on human trafficking.
Proposed law requires any trade school, community college, agency, public or private school, or
person offering instruction in the operation of a commercial motor vehicle as part of a commercial
motor vehicle driving course curriculum to include industry specific anti-trafficking training on the
recognition, prevention, and reporting of human trafficking.
Proposed law requires the Bd. of Regents establish industry specific anti-trafficking training
materials for use in instruction on the recognition, prevention, and effective reporting of human
trafficking by applicants as a requirement to obtain a Class "A", "B", or "C" commercial driver's
license. Proposed law authorizes the board to collaborate with organizations that specialize in and
offer training materials on the recognition, prevention, and reporting of human trafficking for
commercial truckers. Proposed law requires the board to review and update the training materials
every three years to account for changes and trends in human trafficking.
Proposed law requires the Bd. of Regents to identify and establish training materials effective Aug.
1, 2024, and specifies that the remainder of proposed law will become effective Jan. 1, 2025.
