HF 355 – Authorizing online driver’s license renewal & transitioning to 8-year renewal period
HF 487 – County for retailer to title a used manufactured or mobile home
FLOOR ACTION:
HF 355 permits online driver’s license renewal by allowing the Department of Transportation (DOT) to waive the vision test or the filing of a vision report, pursuant to rules of the department. Drivers may renew their license online every other time it comes up for renewal. The bill authorizes the adoption of emergency rules to implement this provision and is effective upon enactment. An amendment adopted on the Senate floor clarifies that a person may not renew their driver’s license online two consecutive times. Another amendment adopted on the floor allows DOT to transition from five-year to eight-year renewal periods for driver’s licenses and ID cards. During the transition, DOT may issue driver’s licenses and ID cards valid for five, six, seven or eight years to equalize renewal periods. [4/23: 48-0 (Chelgren, Zumbach excused)]
