Bill summary

House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition.

Amends GS 20-7, providing that an applicant using bioptic telescopic lenses will be eligible for a regular Class C driver's license if the applicant meets specified conditions (previous edition only provided for the eligibility for a regular driver's license). Requires applicants using bioptic telescopic lenses to also successfully pass a road test administered by the DMV, if requested, to be eligible for a regular Class C driver's license.

Amends GS 20-7(4) and (5), making clarifying, technical, and conforming changes, including inserting "regular Class C driver's license" in the place of "regular driver's license."

Deletes language stating that nothing in this subsection requires the DMV to issue licenses or permits, pursuant to this section, at any location other than the DMV headquarters in Raleigh and that the DMV may select additional offices for testing pursuant to this subsection.

Amends the act's title.
