HB525

Kentucky HB525 mandates vision testing for initial and renewal operator's licenses, exempting certain groups.

Kentucky HB525 amends the vision testing requirements for operator's licenses. It mandates vision tests for initial applicants, renewal applicants aged 65 or older, and those required by specific statutes. Exemptions include those with recent vision tests and those using bioptic devices. The Transportation Cabinet can set visual standards and create testing forms. It also allows for electronic transmission of test forms and fees to cover administrative costs. The bill declares an emergency due to the burden on the driver licensing system.
