Illinois SB2783 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to require the Secretary of State to test the eyesight of any driver's license or permit applicant who has not been previously licensed. The bill also allows applicants renewing their driver's license to obtain the vision examination from an ophthalmologist or optometrist. The Secretary of State must include specific test questions in the written portion of the driver's license examination, such as those concerning safe driving in the presence of bicycles and driver responsibilities when approaching a stationary emergency vehicle.
