Illinois SB1253 removes age restrictions for obtaining a driver's license.

Illinois SB1253 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to eliminate age-based restrictions on obtaining a driver's license. The bill repeals provisions that previously disallowed individuals aged 69 and older from obtaining a license and removes the requirement for a physical examination for applicants aged 75 and older. It also removes the requirement for a medical specialist's statement for non-citizens or permanent residents to obtain a license. The Secretary of State is now allowed to issue licenses to qualified applicants without age restrictions, except for commercial driver's licenses.
