  • Arkansas Code § 27-23-108(e)

    (e) Human Trafficking Prevention Training. (1) A person may be issued a Class A commercial driver license only if he or she: (A) Completes a human trafficking prevention course administered by the division or by a third party approved by the division to present a human trafficking prevention course under regulations promulgated as provided in this section; or (B) Becomes a Certified Trucker Against Trafficking by completing the online certification course offered by Truckers Against Trafficking and provides evidence of completion to the Department of Finance and Administration with his or her application for a commercial driver license under § 27-23-110. (2) A person who currently holds a Class A commercial driver license is not required to comply with this subsection when applying for renewal of the commercial driver license as required by § 27-23-111(g) so long as he or she has completed the human trafficking prevention training required under subdivision (e)(1) of this section at least once.
