AN ACT CONCERNING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE ON-THE-ROAD SKILLS TEST BY DRIVERS' SCHOOLS FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.

HB 5643 would allow licensed drivers' schools (not just the state DMV) to administer the on-the-road driving skills test for people seeking driver's licenses who have disabilities. Currently, this test is typically given by DMV staff, but the bill requires the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to authorize qualified drivers' schools to conduct it instead. This change aims to increase access to the test by potentially reducing wait times and providing more flexible testing locations. The bill directly affects individuals with disabilities navigating the driver's license process in Connecticut.
