March 8, 2010 - Members are urged to contact their State Representative or Senator and urge that they oppose any attempt to impose driving license regulations that are age-biased. Senate Bill 2290 (See March 3 article), which was passed in the Senate in the last week, discriminates against over-age-75 drivers. The bill sets age-biased requirements plus an additional fee when renewing a license. The House version of the driving bill does not require new standards for over-age-75 drivers. Your message to legislators is simple: No discrimination against elderly drivers when renewing a driving license. Any changes in the law must include all drivers regardless of age.
The two competing versions of the bill are now before a House/Senate Conference Committee, where a compromise version is being negotiated.
