The bill proposes changes to the transportation regulations for obtaining driver's licenses, particularly focused on the availability and process of road skills examinations.

1. Examination Components: The bill outlines the mandatory components of the driver's license examination, including:

   • Eyesight test (vision examination certificate acceptable)
   • Understanding of traffic signs
   • Knowledge of traffic laws including DUI consequences, railroad safety, slow-moving vehicle safety, school bus passing laws, bicycle laws, and the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.
   • Demonstration of driving ability
   • Additional physical and mental exams as deemed necessary by the commissioner

2. Color Blindness and Diabetes: The new legislation specifies that color blindness or a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus cannot be used as the sole reasons for denying a driver's license, especially if the vehicle is equipped for disabled individuals.

3. Location and Schedule of Examinations: Applicants must have the option to take their exam either in their county of residence or an adjacent county. The schedule of each exam station must be accessible on the department's website.

4. Timely Exam Appointments: The commissioner is required to ensure that an appointment for the road skills test can be obtained within 14 days of request, given the applicant meets eligibility criteria.

5. Real-time Availability Information: The website must provide real-time information about exam appointment availability and locations. It should display the next available exam times and dates at each station and allow users to search for this information by address.

6. Advance Booking: The commissioner must allow for booking appointments well in advance, with specific percentages of projected appointments available at three months, two months, and one month before the desired date.

These changes aim to make the process of obtaining a driver's license more accessible and transparent, ensuring that all eligible individuals can schedule and complete their examinations efficiently.
