AB2196 would allow California to accept foreign driver's licenses from Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea for noncommercial use.

AB2196 amends the Vehicle Code to allow the Department of Motor Vehicles to accept a valid driver's license from Japan, the Republic of China (Taiwan), or South Korea for a noncommercial class C driver's license in California. This applies if the applicant meets certain conditions, including passing a written examination on California traffic laws and safety aspects. The bill specifies that the license must be surrendered or destroyed, and the applicant must provide proof of legal residency in California.
