relative to driving test accommodations and retest suspension periods.
HB 1111 requires New Hampshire's Department of Motor Vehicles to provide reasonable accommodations (like extended time, alternative formats, or support personnel) for driving test applicants with documented mental or learning disabilities through an IEP or other qualifying documentation. It reduces the retest suspension period from one year to three months for applicants who fail the driving test three or more times, and allows early retesting after completing a certified driver instruction program. The bill also exempts applicants aged 21+ with documented disabilities from needing the instruction program to retake the test. These changes apply directly to individuals seeking driver's licenses who have disabilities or have repeatedly failed the driving portion of the exam.
