House Bill No. [insert bill number] aims to revise Montana's driver's license laws, particularly concerning exemptions for out-of-state driver's licenses and driving privilege cards issued to individuals unlawfully present in the United States. The bill introduces new provisions that require the Motor Vehicle Division of the Department of Justice to determine, through rulemaking, which classes of licenses or cards are issued by other states exclusively to persons unlawfully present in the U.S. Additionally, it amends existing sections of the law to include driving privilege cards alongside driver's licenses in the context of these exemptions.

The bill also grants the Department of Justice extensive rulemaking authority to establish standards for driver's license examinations, vision requirements, and the issuance of restricted learner and hardship licenses. Notably, it mandates the department to adopt rules that will help identify licenses or driving privilege cards that are invalid in Montana if they cannot be verified as issued to individuals lawfully present in the U.S. Furthermore, the bill includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable.
