The bill S.152, introduced by Senators Clarkson, Harrison, and Vyhovsky, aims to enhance the requirements for older drivers renewing their operator's licenses in Vermont. Specifically, it mandates that residents aged 80 years or older must appear in person and pass a vision test to renew their licenses. Additionally, for residents aged 85 years or older, the bill requires them to pass a road test as part of the renewal process.
To implement these changes, the bill amends current law by adding new provisions that specify these requirements for older applicants. It also includes modifications to the language regarding the discretion of the Commissioner in waiving examinations and clarifies the terminology used throughout the statute. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
