An Act to strengthen the review process for a medically conditioned license to operate a motor vehicle

This bill creates a new Medical Advisory Board to oversee the evaluation of drivers who need special medical conditions to operate a vehicle. The board will consist of fifteen medical professionals, including physicians and optometrists, who will review applications from people whose licenses were previously suspended or revoked due to health issues. Key provisions require the board to closely examine an applicant's driving and criminal history before recommending whether to grant a license with specific conditions, such as proof of ongoing medical management. Additionally, the board is authorized to issue exemptions for drivers with light-sensitive vision, allowing them to operate vehicles with specially treated windows. The registrar of motor vehicles will use the board's recommendations to either deny or conditionally approve these applications.
