Assembly Bill 1042 proposes amendments to the statutes regarding driving skills tests for individuals aged 75 and older. Under this bill, individuals in this age group must pass a driving skills test before their 76th birthday and every five years thereafter. If a person fails or refuses to take the test, their operator's license will be canceled by the Department of Transportation. The bill also includes provisions for the Department to conduct these examinations at various locations within each county.

The bill amends several sections of current law, including the addition of a new subsection (3)(c) to section 343.16, which specifically mandates the driving skills test for older drivers. Other amendments clarify the requirements for license renewal and the conditions under which examinations are required. Notably, the title of section 343.16(3) is updated to reflect the periodic testing of certain individuals, and language is added to ensure compliance with examination orders.
