A 5473 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires the commissioner of motor vehicles to evaluate the possibility of offering road tests in languages other than English

This bill requires New York's Motor Vehicle Commissioner to evaluate offering road tests in languages other than English. It directs the commissioner to assess feasibility by December 31, 2028, including which languages would be needed, which communities would benefit, associated costs, and evaluation methods. The study must specifically address how road tests could be provided in languages beyond English, focusing on practical implementation. The bill expires January 1, 2029, after the evaluation deadline. This is a procedural requirement, not a policy change, affecting only the evaluation process.
