S 7349 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires applicants for the renewal of a driver's license to prove they have acceptable vision to operate a motor vehicle

This bill requires drivers renewing their licenses to prove they have adequate vision for safe driving. It affects all New York drivers applying to renew a standard non-commercial license. Applicants must either pass a vision test given by the DMV or provide a written certification from a doctor, optometrist, or other approved healthcare provider confirming their vision meets safety standards. The requirement applies specifically to license renewals, not new applications.
