HB 5651 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE KNOWLEDGE TEST FOR APPLICANTS WITH READING OR LEARNING DISABILITIES.

HB 5651 requires Connecticut's Motor Vehicle Commissioner to offer an oral version of the knowledge test to applicants who request it due to reading or learning disabilities. This change directly affects individuals with these specific disabilities who are applying for a driver's license. The bill amends existing law to mandate that the Commissioner provide this alternative testing format upon request, replacing the standard written test. The policy change ensures accessibility without altering the test content or passing standards.
