Florida is gearing up to have an English-only driver's license exam, dumping its multi-lingual process.
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) announced the shift is now in effect. They said as of Feb. 6, "All driver's license knowledge and skills examinations will be administered exclusively in English."
This change includes driver license classifications, as well as oral exams. Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) and Commercial Driver License (CDL) knowledge exams were previously only available in English and Spanish.
According to the release, language translation services will no longer be permitted for knowledge or skills examinations, and any printed exams in languages other than English will be removed for use.
HOA said yes, but the CDD says no: Sun City Center homeowners ordered to remove backyard fences
For years, homeowners in one Hillsborough County neighborhood had fences around their backyards — fences that were approved by their homeowners' association. But now, another organization with government powers says some of those fences are blocking drainage easements and have to go, at the owners' expense.
