Drivers license; require re-examination of persons age 55 and older if license has been expired more than five years.

HB 1026 would require drivers aged 55 and older to retake the driving portion of the license exam if their license has been expired for more than five years before renewing. This applies specifically to older drivers whose licenses lapsed beyond the standard 60-month renewal window. The bill, which died in committee on February 4, 2025, aims to verify continued driving competency for this group. It does not affect other license renewal scenarios or impose new requirements on younger drivers.
