Louisiana HB777 mandates a knowledge examination for Class "E" driver's license renewals.

HB777 requires drivers renewing Class "E" licenses to pass a knowledge examination. The exam assesses traffic laws, roadway signage, and safe driving practices. Drivers must achieve a minimum score of 80% and can take the exam up to three times without additional fees. Failure to pass within 90 days results in license suspension. The Department of Public Safety and Corrections, or an authorized third party, will administer the exam in various formats, including electronic and in-person options.
