Arkansas CDL Arkansas Class A Human Trafficking Prevention Requirement

Arkansas State Police explains that Act 922 requires completion of a human-trafficking prevention course for issuance or renewal of a Class A CDL. The requirement applies at the credential transaction, not merely when the driver begins employment.

The course provides a completion certificate that must be presented to the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration. Arkansas publishes examples of accepted certificates; completion that cannot be documented in an accepted form may delay issuance.

Human-trafficking prevention training is an Arkansas Class A issuance requirement. It does not replace federal ELDT, the CLP hold, knowledge testing, skills testing, medical qualification, or TSA requirements.

Complete the course before the final DFA issuance or renewal visit and bring the accepted certificate with the other required documents. A completed State Police test packet does not itself prove the course requirement.

The course trains commercial drivers to recognize indicators, avoid unsafe intervention, preserve useful observations, and report suspected trafficking through appropriate channels. CDL holders should follow employer procedures and emergency-reporting rules without placing victims or themselves at greater risk.

Apply the rule to the exact Arkansas vehicle, credential, date, trip, test stage, and operating facts. The current DFA and State Police pages, current controlling law, federal requirements, and the current official manual govern when an older publication conflicts.
