- Florida mandates English-only driver's license testing — As of February 6, 2026, Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles eliminated multilingual driver's license examinations, requiring all knowledge and skills tests to be conducted in English only. Previously, noncommercial exams were offered in Spanish, Haitian Creole, and Portuguese. Translation services and printed exams in other languages are now prohibited. Critics argue the policy disproportionately affects immigrant communities and non-English speakers, including U.S. citizens, and creates barriers to essential services.
