HB 4041

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that the Secretary of State may not issue a driver's license or permit to any person 75 years or older, unless the person passes a vision examination or presents a report of a vision examination, conducted within the previous 90 days by an ophthalmologist or optometrist, indicating that the applicant's vision meets or exceeds standards. Provides that persons 75 through 80 (rather than 81 through 86) years of age must renew their driver's licenses every 2 years. Provides that every person 81 (rather than 87) years of age or older must renew his or her driver's license every year. Deletes language allowing the Secretary of State to extend the length of the one-year or 2-year renewal period by as much as one year.
