Summary

The bill mandates visual acuity and field testing for anyone applying for a new Kentucky driver’s license or instruction permit, and for drivers 65 or older renewing a license. Applicants who meet a 20/40 vision standard can drive without limits; those who need glasses must wear them, and anyone who fails the test is referred to a vision specialist. The Transportation Cabinet will set the detailed standards and may impose a fee to cover testing costs.
