Revise the exemption for out-of-state driver's licenses
This bill updates Montana's driver's license laws to clarify how out-of-state licenses are treated when issued exclusively to individuals unlawfully present in the United States. It requires the Motor Vehicle Division to establish rules identifying which license classes fall into this category and reorganizes existing driver's license regulations. The changes primarily affect nonresident drivers who may operate vehicles in Montana using valid licenses from their home states or countries, with specific exemptions for military personnel and certain temporary drivers. The legislation also grants the department broader rulemaking authority to set standards for license examinations, renewal grace periods, and functional ability assessments for safe vehicle operation.
