Kentucky to require vision screenings to help keep unsafe drivers off the roads
SUMMARY: Starting January 1st, a new bill in Kentucky mandates that drivers must pass a vision test to renew their licenses.

This initiative is part of efforts to maintain high standards for driver safety in the state.
The bill requiring drivers to undergo a vision test when renewing their license will take effect Jan. 1, 2025.
