The bill amends the expiration and renewal provisions for driver's licenses in Wyoming, specifically changing the duration of validity and renewal periods. Under the new law, every driver's license will now expire on the licensee's birthday in the seventh year following its issuance, as opposed to the previous five-year period. Additionally, the bill allows for the deferral of license expiration for active duty military personnel and certain government employees for successive seven-year periods instead of five. It also permits the extension of a driver's license for a seven-year period without requiring an examination, which can be done once in a fourteen-year period, rather than the previous ten-year period.

The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2024, and will apply to licenses issued or renewed on or after that date. The bill aims to provide more flexibility and convenience for licensees, particularly those serving in the military or working in government roles that require them to be away from their home state.
