Bill summary

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

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. Provides that the DMV may also require an applicant using bioptic telescopic lenses to successfully complete a behind-the-wheel training and assessment program.

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